I picked up my first red blood at a show this past fall. She was just like yours, eating very sporadically. She would eat enough to survive but not enough to really fatten up. I recently got a great deal on frozen hamsters and she will eat every one I put in front of her. If you have access to hamsters, try them. Since I got these hamsters she's turned into a little fatty. Another thing I did was completely surround her cage with newpaper (taped to the outside) to give her complete privacy. Since then I've taken the newspaper off one side at a time and she's completely comfortable now. I've included a new pic of her. Good luck, Scott.
