Ball not Eating

jimmyeo3 Nov 03, 2006 04:53 PM

I bought a ball a month ago from KS classifieds, it was a female ball around 1200 grams(advertised at 1400 )It was shiped in a box stuffed with newspaper, in a piloow case, the bax was not insulated, and their were no heat packs. When i recieved the animal the box was trashed, and the snake was freezing, very little movement. I put it on some heat and she became more livly. She was very skinny and i guess had laid 6 eggs two months before. Anyway she wont eat anything.Ive tried frozen thawed mice/rats, live rats/mice. Nothing. I tried every week so far, and am not sure what to try next. She has plenty of heat, a hide box, and water. Other than her weight she looks to be in good health, and is very active. Any ideas in what i should try next.

Although Expensive, try a gerbil. If she takes it try scenting a rat with a gerbil the next time, then just a rat.
