Yea, when I got mine, she hadn't eaten but maybe once, or maybe not at all. I had a difficult time getting her started, but I figured a good trick, I put her in a kritter keeper, and I completely covered it and I put a fuzzy, something smaller so she felt a bit more comfortable I guess? It worked, then ever since then she has aten. For awhile she got lazy and would just do a lazy coil, but lately she's been snagging it up as soon as it hits the cage.
