Ladies and gentlemen, hi!


I am new to this forum, and just got my first baby ball last November.

To be straight to the point this time (I wrote my previous very-long-post about half an hour ago, only to press 'submit' and being told I am not connected anymore... all the writing was lost, grrr!)... so : my baby ball is 8 months old and only at 350g or so.

When I got her I was told she was on rat pups, although now I highly doubt it since she 'fasted' so many times (the longest = 29 days ) - seems like rats are just not yummy to her!

I gave up and, against the advice of a specialized reptile store, I switched to mice 10 days ago, which seems to make her extremely happy - and so am I !!!!!

I would like to know how bad of a feeding schedule it is if I go for 1 adult mouse every 4 days for a couple of weeks/months.

I would like her to get back to a more normal weight for her age, hoping that she would have completely catch up by her birthday middle of August.

Of course, I would never ever ever force a meal on her - if all she wants to do is stare at her food, so be it!

Anyone has a thought on this?
Is 4 days horrible powerfeeding, or could it be helpful right now?


Thank you very, very much

And thanks for keeping such an helpful forum alive (I've read and learned so much although never posted before)

PS I got fecals done, all clean! She was just being picky... and driving me
