1. Offer f/t, but less frequently. If you feed every 7 days, cut back and offer food every 10 days or so. If she takes food, go back to the normal interval.

2. Get a nice Boa. Whatever the BP refuses, I bet the boa will eat it!

I haven't had any feeding issues of my own yet (knock on wood), but I have also heard that varying the intervals between feedings can help decrease the likelihood of fasting issues. I vary my feedings between 5-7 days, with the occasional extra day or two, depending on my work schedule. You could also try dropping a thawed and warmed prey item into the cage at a completely random time of day.

I started a once a week feeding then I went to two weeks then I tried three days later etc. so I have been caring but the 1000g thought may be it. So right now I have the live rat living with me and my BP (separate tanks of course). I think it's too funny but at least ill have it to offer her which will be good.
