Hey all, never really thought I'd have to post this because our RTB is usually great about eating. However, this is the first time we've fed her in ~3.5 weeks and we just recently noticed that she has MITES. We're planning on treating her (and the other snakes in the house) for the mite issue, I'm just waiting for the money to arrive in the bank to buy the PaM. My issue is, I put a rat in her cage and she will not eat. She has been alternating between staring at it in strike position and staring at me for 15 minutes now. I'm actually quite concerned that the mites have something to do with this. It is a live rat and being watched closely by us, but she's not interested. Do you have any suggestions?
Edit: Nevermind folks! I think it might have had something to do with the rat cowering in the corner because I nudged it, it ran out, she snatched it right up!
