Yes, offer when she is finished shedding...sounds as if she is in shed....Originally Posted by teebyrd393
I'm a new owner...my baby BP Jade has refused food the last two times offered...has actually shown no interest, where as previously had a biweekly feeding with fuzzies. Upon closer inspection, her eyes look clouded bluish (I think that's the term "in blue"). Skin looks dull and sharply wrinkled at body's angles. I've added damp moss to her plastic hide and upped the humidity the best I can...it's at 72 right now. Am I right??? Is this the beginning of her first shed? I feed f/t and have wasted 3 now that she hasn't taken...I can wait until her shed is over to offer food again, right? Thank you
...and PLEASE bump up the food size and offer once a week....that you're offering is not enough....a juvie BP can handle a small adult mouse without problems....my 07 babies eat adult mice....one of them (named HAM after Miss Piggy) ate three adult mice today and two just last week....she was born in July...
fuzzies are not enough (IMO)...bump up slowly each feeding....perhaps offer 2 fuzzies one week...then a hopper....then an adult mouse....go from there......
her color sounds like a classic shed....eyes are eerie like that arent they??
would love to know how she does!!!
