Hunger strike is over

[moespeaking]

My female finally ate today after 5 months. I wasn't too worried as she is a good weight and only lost 55 grams in those 5 months. But as you all know its very frustrating.

Grats! Mine just starting eating 2 weeks ago for the first time in 9 months so I know how you felt.

Did you get her to eat F/T or Live? I am curious because I have a couple snakes that have been on a hunger strike for the last couple of months.

live, she has never eaten frozen I have tried many times.

woohoo... Congrats on her eating. It's such a relief when they finally eat.

Oh my god. 9 months!!
I have been dreadfully worried about my girl. She started to refuse in December and has only eaten twice since.

I am trying every week with frozen rats and although she will often strike and constrict, she then leaves it.

She has continued to shed regulary but is very active everyday.

it's like the best feeling ever when they come out of a fast! tank ate for a second time after a 6 month fast and i was still as giddy as the first time!
