My AZ mountain king isnt eating for the past 3 or 4 months. she was in hibernation one of those months so that dosnet count. I've tryed the spilt brain pinkie a pinkie torn in half ect. and she hasnt eaten. she is starting to look a little thin and has been in the same spot in her cage for the past week during the day the temps are around 80-85 and at night it drops to 68-75. my other kings are doing fine and eating well all but one have shed and my desighner is a beasty pig eating 8 fuzzies in one week. so any help would be highly apreiciated

May I ask why it was in hibernation for only one month? Did you lower her temps, or did it just hide and you couldn't see it for a month? How old is it?

its a year and a half old so i lowered the temps for a month for her because it was her first time burmateing i got her to eat now though.

It doesn't look like she's even of breeding size, so I wouldn't even put her into brumation yet. Kinda pointless. Maybe not though, I'm not an expert.
