Hey guys,

I'm having feeding problems again, but it's different this time. My pinstripe was feeding just fine on frozen thawed. It took her three weeks to get going and then she ate four weeks straight. Now it's been three weeks without a meal again. Next week I'm going to attempt f/t again, but if no success I'm going to get a live to get a meal in her. I'm almost afraid to put a live meal in the cage with her though she's a super shy snake and when I go to pick her up or introduce food into the tub she jumps back into her hide. I'm afraid if I put a rat in there it might tear her up. It may be possible that she's outgrown her cage, but would that make her scared I would think it would make her more secure. I'll post pics when I get home. I don't think it's an issue with the frozen thawed cause like I said it's not like she hasn't eaten before. She just isn't eating now. And again it's not like she's just going off feed. It's like she's scared. The only other thing that I can think of is I switched from paper towel bedding to newsprint. The week she stopped feeding.



This brings up another question. If I switch back to paper towels would this make it better or would it just be another change and make it worse? Any help is appreciated.



Thanks guys.
