I have an adult female silver suboc that has never been a strong feeder. She is about 7 years old now, I believe and just a few months ago started eating aggresively and regularly. She is now eating a couple thawed rat pups twice a week. In the past, she would maybe eat once a month, if that. And the weird thing is that nothing has changed for her.

I also have a male blonde suboc that was a great feeder when he hatched then stop eating. I put a new hide in and changed from paper towel substrate to aspen to give him more hiding options and he started up again.

So I would definitely try more hides and you might even try a different type of prey, like rats over mice. I have one big older female that eats medium sized rats like crazy but is not interested in mice.

Good.
