Nelsons ?

dinodon Aug 30, 2007 10:18 AM

I have a young adult Nelsons, that hasn't eaten for 2 months, I offerd her a pinky a week ago, wich she ate, but not in a normal way, she bit it, kept it in her mouth and kept on biting till it went all the way down. she hasn't eaten since then and still won't eat. I have a large collection of kings and milks, that are all kept in the same room same temps and conditions. She is healthy looking but just way more jumpy. I'm at my wits end with her, and don't know what to do any more. I have three hides in her enclosure, one with damp moss one with aspen and the other is her water dish that she can get under.
Please help any ideas.

Let's start from the beginning.

If she's a young adult, did you own her all this time, or did you acquire it from someone recently?,......meaning,...what were her eating habits/responses before now?
