    9 Month Hunger Strike Over

    I picked up this girl at the Hamburg show in November since I had her I have tried to feed her every 2 weeks. I went to feed everyone last night and did the little dance with her and nothing so I left the ft rat in overnight like normal (this has worked with my others that decided to go on strike).

    Well this morning when checking because I also have a male that is on strike. Low and behold I look in her tub and no rat. I am so excited. I was just getting ready to try live even though she hasn't lost much weight. Here she is after her first meal with me.



    Sorry for the crapy cell pic but I didn't want to bother her too much.

    Congrats! I have one that just (hopefully) ended a 6 month hunger strike! He's a big boy, though, so I only offered once a month. He struck with no hesitation this last time so I'm crossing my eyes, fingers, and toes that he'll continue to eat for me!
