I have a female Pastel that was eating great for me and barely missing a meal and just before we moved to Northern Ontario (Timmins) she only ate one meal a week after the move. That told me she was happy with the move.

She started to become slow to feed or refuse the last month before our move in December. She was 911 grams and now weighs 868g. She did go through a normal shed and I expect the weight loss if just fluids. She has been this 870 ish for the last few weeks.

Her cage is 92 hot spot and 78 in the coolest. Humidity is 50-65%. She spends most of her time lately in the cool hide and she used to be 50/50.

I have heard they stop eating close to 1000 grams and because of winter. I am not really worried about her not eating but like most owners (especially first timers) I want her eating ASAP. Now she has only eaten live. That is what the breeder fed and I have tried several attempts at F/T. I have nothing against live feeding to be honest. I watch diligently and. I am ready to intervene if necessary. I would like the convienence of frozen for my sake but really would rather have her eating consistently.

My question is should I attemp to force a switch to F/T now while she isn't eating and starve her over or just keep her on live. Since she isn't eating for me at all now I figured now is probably the best time to switch.

Second question. She seems to yawn a lot when she first pokes her head out at feeding time. She only used to yawn after the meal. Anything weird about that or just a new thing?

Sorry I always have big posts it seems.
Thanks for any feedback.
