Scenting rats?

Our girl still won't eat, does any company make scents that may help?

Even though your Boa may be large, you could try larger mice. A small meal is a start in the right direction. I had a freind who's male boa would only eat when you leave the room and lights out. I also have a male who will eat with the lights on, but won't take it from the tongs, only when left alone.
the only scenting that I've done is with feeding baby Boas. I will take pinky rats ant put them in a jar with mouse bedding. I have better luck getting neonates to take mouse scented rats. I don't know of any companies that sell scents, but if you want, I'll sell you some old shavings from my dirty cages ha ha. Just kidding, I truly hope you Boa starts feeding for you.

LoL, thanks for the offer, but I think I'll pass on it. I was thinking maybe chicken, or rabbit? Maybe i could bring a rat with me to the petstore, and rub it all over one of their rabbits... lol
