So both my albino and my spider girls are at that lovely time where they decide to stop eating.

With the albino I'm not worried. Honestly she seems like she might even be ovulating, but she's a bit too small for breeding yet. She just hangs out on her heat tape and seems fine.

With the spider, I am concerned. She is constantly roaming around, like she's hunting for prey. She's always been a finicky eater. I got her to break a month long fast about two weeks ago by offering mice.

Since then, she has consistently refused food. She has only ever eaten live, but she will not touch anything. Not mice, not rats. I've tried different sizes, different times of day, different colors and genders.

She seems intimidated by appropriately sized rats (small/medium). She seems unable to keep up with how quickly the mice move.

I went so far as to put a single live rat pink in with her today. She was very interested in it, smelled around it and started moving more quickly. She rested her nose against it, and then decided she was done and went back to her hide.

I figured it was worth a shot to see if anyone had suggestions. Otherwise I am just gonna wait her out, assuming she doesn't start losing weight.
