Feeding issues

Do you think it could be the enclosure. It's a wild card but the last time she are was when she was at her other enclosure at my house. Although she has never had a problem eating here before. The 1200g rebellion/fast makes sense cause she's 1162g right now and it started at 1234g so I suppose that's what it is. How long do those fasts typically go for or is it completly dependent on the BP?

[Megz]

How long have these fasts lasted for some of you? I just thought I'd get a rough average so I can maybe get some reassurance from it if this goes for awhile

Regarding the pithing....I don't think you should end up with brain goo anywhere. From what I understand you simply pierce the skull with something like a sewing needle. You don't want the brains all over....just the smell.
