I have a 5 or so month old jungle. She was feeding once a week on frozen mice. alittle over 2 weeks ago she ate a small mouse which was a good size meal for her but she had no problems with it. She has refused food last week, which I figure no problem that was a good size meal for her I will give her another week. I tried last night. No dice she wasn't having it at all. I was keeping her in an inclosue that was way to big for her, but she was doing fine. after last night I moved her into a shoe box sized rubbermaid box. how long should I let her adjust to her smaller quaters before I try to feed her again. She also didn't have a very strong feeding responce when food was introduced previous to her refusing food. She was more curious about it if I let the mouse touch her that would prevoke her to strike at it. Also she used to strike,constrict and hold on to it then let it go and eat it. Then she went to striking it wraping it up and letting it go almost emmediately. then hovering over it for a while then finally eating it.I keep her temps at 84 F and 45% RH. I had 2 balls and a burm. I never ran into a problem like this with either of my balls. The Burm was the machine. Anyway I was wanting some suggestions and as much information as people would be will to write.Thanks-Chuck
