How long?

The hatchling is one of my own. I've had problem feeder before and learned how to deal with it. The hatchling I have, I gave her a fuzzy mouse which she did not take for three weeks so I tried pinkie rats for two weeks and she did not take. She does seem ok which is why I wouldn't force feed her yet.

Looking for ideas on how to get her to eat...

Her tub is set at 90 degrees and 80 at the cool area. There is a hide and a water bowl. I attempt to feed her every 7 days.

I would slightly lower the temp assuming you are keeping her in a 6 quart tub this leaves very little room to thermoregulate.

I would lower to 86/88.

If you have no done so, use aspen as bedding you would be surprise of the difference it makes with hatchlings.

Also because they are all different try to put a plastic flower pot saucers (about 6 inches) for hide, over the years I had hatchlings that did not want to eat and then soon as they were provided with a hide they did.

And again crumble newspaper, brown paper bag and most importantly keep an eye on it and make sure she is well hydrated.
