Constricts but wont eat?

[towelie4365]

I just tried feeding my girl, and she always eats just fine (only had a problem when she was shedding). She aggressively went after the rat, constricted it, but chose not to eat it. She still seems hungry, but isn't touching the rat. I am fairly certain the rat was hot enough, but just in case I'm going to try warming it up a bit more and try again. Any other suggestions? I thought it was strange she would take it but not eat it. Shes 230g and the rat is 30g

A few of my more aggressive girls do that sometimes when they just don't want to eat, just give them the week off

She took the rat heated up right away again. This time she actually ate it. I guess shes just picky with how warm it is

My killerbee would sometimes constrict the f/t rodent, then leave it there. When I re-offered, she would take it and consume it. Sometimes it took 2 offerings before she decided she was finally going to eat it. She's just weird like that. I try get her to bite the face rather than the body so she can start swallowing right away, rather than try to find the head.
