Well - Seeing as she is a WC you may have some work ahead. Hopefully the person you got her from was telling you the truth and she has actually started eating, if so start off feeding her live mice like he did then go to small rats and then to medium (that's what my 1000 gram girls are taking). You can switch to F/T once you get her on a good eating routine. Your next problem is that some imports will not readily breed in captivity (you have a 50/50 chance). Some do, some it takes a couple of years, another reason why some people prefer to raise CB over WC. In 2006 you'll probably be able to get a pastel for about $700 (Just an estimate). That would be about the equivelent of selling off 7 female normals. Hopefully your Siberian will produce for you by then. We recently lost our 16 year old Siberian last month, maybe I'll work out a trade for you in 2006 for one of your Siberians (we'd want a female with one blue eye and one brown LOL). Hopefully I'll have several pastels that season. Good luck, with her!
