    Interesting... and it works pretty well for you as well? I guess I can always use a male that isn't a very aggressive breeder just to be more on the safe side?

    Re: The dreaded 1000g wall

    It's interesting to see others having this issue. I have three girls that seem to be stuck between 1000-1100 grams. I may also try some of these suggestions.

    Just an update... just checked her card. Last meal was a small to med rat on April 10th. So it's been just under 3 months since eating.

    I just moved her to a smaller bin. She is now in one of those taller 15qt bins. Just her and her waterbowl, hopefully this will help. I will not bother her for 2 weeks and try a small rat again, live of course. Wish me luck!

    6 months? No, it's almost been 3 months. She doesn't and has never had mites and doesn't have an RI either.

    I don't know where 6 months came from.. her last meal was april 10, which means July 10th will be 3 months.

    Re: The dreaded 1000g wall

    SHE ATE, SHE ATE, SHE ATE, SHE ATE!!!!!!!

    hahahaha... oh man I am so relieved. Well, Consensus was: I left her in the smaller tub for a little over a week, when I went to check on her yesterday she had soaked her substrate in her water bowl (I use newprint, unprinted), and she was basically soaking wet and a little unresponsive and lethargic (think it was because there was so much water in her tub from the bowl and she was a little cold. Her body temp on her head read 80 degrees.

    Anyways, I immediatley put her into her original 32 qt tub and put a small hopper in with her. She immediatley took notice to it and gave it a very lazy strike (mouth closed). Decided to leave it in with her over night knowing that it was just a small hopper and barely a weaner yet so couldn't do any damage to her.

    Woke up this morning and it WAS GONE!!!! Oh man, I am so relieved... she was much more responsive and strong this morning. The 3 month fast is finally over, thank goodness. Thanks again for all your concerns and hints and ideas everyone!

    Next question, next week should I go with a small prey again for a few weeks or shall I step it up in size a tad bit? Your thoughts?
