My stubborn bp Millie is in week 9 of her hunger strike. Normally she eats f/t rats. So far we have tried a f/t asf, a brained f/t thawed asf, a prekilled asf which we put with her in a paper bag overnight and a f/t asf covered in homemade chicken stock. (I seriously don't know what's wrong with this rotten animal when she turns down my chicken soup!)

At this point she's lost just under 50gr and is still over 1300gr, so she's not in any danger yet. Her temps/humidity/husbandry are all good.

I am reluctant to feed her live because I don't want to get stuck with a live rodent if she refuses it. My question is whether there would be any value in offering her a live pinkie just to try to break the cycle, because if she doesn't eat the pinkie I can give it to my sand boa.

Thanks for any help!
