Hi

I have heard lots of conflicting opinions on whether it is better to feed in the tank or in a separate tub. I used to always feed my BP in her tank, but because I feed live I was taking all the stuff out of her enclosure every time and then putting it back in after she was done swallowing. I worried this might be stressing her out because she doesn’t like when I change ANYTHING about her little home but I think the rat would have too many places to hide if I left all her stuff in there. So anyways, I started feeding her in a plastic tub and very gently moving her back into her tank after the feeding, even though I’m wary about having to touch her after eating. She ate successfully in this tub twice but since then she has been refusing food for 2 months, which she has never done before. Should I try offering food in her cage again, and, if so, should I still move all the clutter out? Kind of a pain because her place is pretty packed. Thanks for any advice!!
