This reminds me of one female Cinny I have that's the only "finnicky" feeder I have. And she's right at that 600 gram mark so she's getting even more difficult. Her brother and sisters are over 800 grams and she's still at 600. But she'd probably be even lighter without this little trick I use with her. About half the time she'll eat readily, but when she turns up her nose, I harass her with the rat until she gets defensive and starts throwing coils to get me to leave her alone. Then I throw the rat into her coils and she constricts it. Doesn't bite, just constricts. After she holds onto it for a good 10 minutes, it seems to kick her feeding response in and she actually eats the rat. Works almost everytime.
