    Need some feeding advice please!!

    So my girl hasn't been an every week eater since I got her. She is one year old as of last month and just doesn't seem to wanna eat. Her temps and humidity are in the right spot and I put a second hide in her tub for security but still no improvement. I know its normal for bp's to go off feed, but do they usually do it after 1yr old? Also, would yall recommend that I continue to offer her a rat every week, or just offer every 2 weeks? 2 weeks has kinda been her pattern of actually taking it, except that she refused today for the second week in a row. What is everyones advice? Thanks in advance!!

    What are your temps and humidity and what are you measuring them with?

    As far as i know bps can go off feed for a LONG time at any age. the longest has been 22 months off feed i beleive. So just keep trying every week and sooner or later hunger will strike and shel take it. just make sure she feels secure and has the proper husbandry

    should i leave her hides in the tub when i drop the rat in? ive found the rat usually makes its way into one of them.Ivealso found she doesnt use her hide at all but rather just coils up under her paper bedding... ??
