    Re: Feeding problems

    Tried feeding her last night. I pre-scented from morning to noon by letting the fuzzy thaw out on top of her mesh tank lid. When I was ready to feed, I warmed it up a bit more in some hot water, and then placed both of them into a tub and closed the lip. After about an hour later, I came back to find what I thought was her swallowing the mouse. I was super excited until I looked closer... all she had really done was rest her head on top of it. I decided not to leave her in there if she wasn't going to eat, and put her back in her tank.

    Also, I haven't been handling her at all lately just in case this is due to stress. Her temps for the last 2 weeks or so have been 92-95 warm and 79-82 cool with a 25watt white light bulb over a 10gal. For a while I had it on a timer, but I figured the temps were getting too low at night (around 70) so now the light is on 24/7.

    Still no weight loss and I've caught her drinking water recently. She spends most of her time either burrowed down below her aspen or cruising the sides trying to get out. I've only seen her use her basking hide a few times lately.
