Trying to get mom that laid eggs to eat

[Animals As Leaders]

Have you cleaned the tub out completely and washed her off to get rid of the smell of eggs? If not you should try that. I would also offer the same type of food she was eating before.

I did clean the entire tub out, and gave her a bath as well. She doesn't seem to be in mother mode anymore but seems private and to herself. But at night when I open the tub she seems like shes ready to chew someones arm off, but won't strike the f/t so I'm wondering if shes just not getting it for some reason. I'm going to try a small live rat and see what happens.
This has actually happened to me before but with my male pastel. He was eating f.t for a while and then suddenly stopped. I kept trying but nothing would happen, then I offered live and he gobbled it right up, and after that meal ate f.t every single time no questions asked. Sometimes I think they just need a live one to stimulate their appetite in a certain way. Have any of you noticed this as well?
