Not Hungry ???

[tman]

I've got a 8 month old female BP, she's in great shape and she seems to be very happy, very friendly. In the 6 months I've had her she has never refused a meal, accept for tonight. Its only been the last few feedings that she has been taking rats, no problems changing from mice. She's always been a great eater, what could have changed that its a no go tonight ? Should I wait till next feeding day to try again or in a couple of days ?

I'd give her till her next scheduled feeding time. Its not totally uncommon for bp's to go off feed everyonce and a while. As long as she's good and healthy and your husbandry hasnt changed, she'll be fine till your next scheduled feeding day.

Thanks Carson, yep everything is good, she did just finish another great shed.

Good to hear. If your husbandry is off, that could be the problem. But if it is spot on, i wouldnt give it too much thought this week. Next week she should be good and hungry and rarin to eat . Sometimes even after the successful switch to rats, their digestive systems finally catch up and say ... whoa mabye not tonite
