She weighs 1500g. How big are the rats you're offering her?Originally Posted by Galaxygirl
I have one that is the same way. She's a bit smaller than your's but the erratic feeding is about the same. Doesn't seem to like live food, won't touch anything unless no one's around. After months of on-again/off-again weekly feedings where she would eat once, take two weeks off, eat once, three weeks off, eat twice, off again, etc, I decided to try to listen to her. Looking at her records, she had been eating the smaller prey on average every 10 to 14 days. So...that's what I started doing.
Smaller rats, once every 14 days. That's it. Growth is slower, but consistent, and the feedings have become much more reliable. She hasn't missed a scheduled feeding in months now. The rats are probably much smaller than most people would feed (I've switched to smaller food on all my snakes in general), but she seems happier, she's one of my best feeders now and she eats every time she's scheduled to. Everyone's happy.
