    Re: Has Refused Food For A Week Or More, could husbandry be the issue?

    Anything you've changed, including bedding, could cause them to refuse... I had a young BP about that size refuse food a couple times after switching her from paper towel to aspen. Then once I switched back to paper towel, she started eating again
    Sorry, yes, you're right, UTH is plugged into thermostat. I always mix the two up when I'm speaking/typing.

    Only thing that worries me is she's active a lot during the day but I can't pinpoint a single reason she'd be stressed so I'd have to assume it's hunger, but I guess I'll find out.
