Female laid won't eat

[Snow Balls]

Guys I had my first clutch ever. It was a 2018 Cinny het clown to a Leopard Clown. My female laid 7 large and healthy eggs almost 2 weeks ago. Of course she won't eat and she needs to. She is thin and very lethargic. She was 1600 grams when I started breeding her and she did good. She wasn't eating ferociously as the other females. So while building she didn't put on the fat like the others.

I weighed her and she is 1054 grams now. I say all that to ask, should I consider force feeding her? I feed F/T and tried after a week. I even went with a smaller size but no interest. She looks bad and I hate to lose her. I'll be back home in 2 days from work and I may try a large live retired breeder mouse to entice her. Any thoughts.

I assume you cleaned her tub completely and gave her a bath? You can try a live rat pup to get her started. I wouldn’t force feed, that will just stress her out even more. There’s a new product I’ve been hearing about called Davinci Boa, it’s a supplement that from what I’ve seen helps get them kick started after laying. I’ve never tried it but I’ve seen people use it. It’s worth a shot if she’s not eating soon
