Update on reluctant feeding BRB

Phil Peak Mar 20, 2008 05:57 PM

The young BRB that I have that had been off food since the second week of January finally took a frozen/thawed fuzzy mouse the other day. So far, so good in keeping it down.

Thanks for all the helpful advise guys!

Did all other attempts fail and then it just spontaneously fed ?

Day, Night? please elaborate...

I opened my mouth and out flowed a melody black.

Frank,

I tried a couple of more times after reducing the temps but had no luck. I then didn't often anything for around ten days and put a f/t mouse fuzzy beside it before turning the lights off in the room for the night. Next morning it was gone. I am going to try again this Sunday night, which will be seven days since that feeding.

Thanks, Phil
