Food problem?

[tttaylorrr]

... I was just wondering why she showed so much interest but didn't eat. I'm trying my best here. Thanks for the rude comment. It really helps.

Not trying to be rude or nasty at all but sometimes a little common sense goes a long way. Digesting food would probably take even more energy than she has. Allow her time to get her shots, sleep and recover before trying something that is taking up the little bit of energy she has by striking out of stress. She may not be showing interest in the Mouse as food but as something in her enclosure that she doesn't want in there. After all she had a Rodent disfigure her face. After a experience like that I would strike at a mouse/rat too.

I wouldn't take that as a rude comment, but a legitimate question and concern from an experienced keeper.

i agree that CALM was not trying to be intentionally rude. many of us have interacted with him on the forum for a while so we know his intentions better than most. he can be very straight-forward and a bit sarcastic which, in text form, can come off rude. but he's incredibly knowledgeable and a very good resource here, and he can be funny.

and like craigafrechette said: we are all here because we care about these animals. yes, yours too.

let's get your baby healthy first before we worry about food. they can go a lot longer without food than you think. keep us updated, please!!!
