I've got a female boa that gave birth about 2 months ago. Since that time she hasn't eaten anything. I'm looking for ideas to get her to eat. I keep her in a freedom breeder jumbo rack with heat panels,although this time a year no supplemental heat is really needed in my garage.

I've force fed a yearling boa before so I have those supplies,however, I prefer not to do this unless it's the last resort. I know this is extremely stressful.

I'm thinking to try chicks, guinea pigs, and rabbits. Any other suggestions are appreciated. I'm planning on taking her to a vet if she doesn't eat soon.

Thanks,Frank
