    If there was a case or even a few that linked a car rides to resumed feeding in BP's that were refusing food and restarted because of those rides would be something rare and incredible. I think the example given may have been related to a few animals and perhaps just luck. Car rides are not a desired option to induce a feeding response.

    The species refuses food and eats when it is ready.

    An established royal not eating is very much the norm.
    I'm sure it was anecdotal evidence, not an actual study, & I don't recall the explanation either, if there even was one? I thought it was crazy then & I still do. But things happen by coincidence & are then attributed as if the result of. Much more likely to have the opposite effect if you ask me- ie. more likely to put a snake off eating.
