Do some bps eat only off of tongs?

[Maddumpling]

Is she OFF feed, or has she never eaten for you? I ask because she may need you to do the "zombie dance" to believe it's alive, not just drop it on the ground. Hold the rat behind the shoulder blades with the tongs, rather than hanging it by the tail, and shuffle it slowly in front of her.

As long as you're monitoring her weight with a scale and she isn't losing, don't worry about going to great lengths to break a fast - she'll eat when she's ready.

Oh, and with the feeding response on some of my girls, there's no way I'd ever be placing a rat in their tubs without tongs. Rat tails just aren't long enough if she misses!

I dont know if i did mention it but yea i did do the zombie dance every single feeding day and she always looks at it. Not look away and scared but just looks at it but doesnt do anything. Im concerned is because she didnt eat for me since the day she was shipped to me. She has never eaten and the only other option for me to have her to eat is put her in with a male because i heard when they breed, females will go back on feed. I scented the f/t rat with asf bedding but didnt work. And i do feed them with tongs.
