Feeding problem with Ball

caligirl Oct 22, 2003 10:59 PM

I have owned my ball for quite some time now and I have been told of the issues that balls go through so far as not eating for a long period of time. Its been about 6 weeks since mine has eaten and I was just wondering if there is anything I should look for so far as to see if the snake is sick or anything. she looks pretty healthy and doesn't seem weak or anything and she moves around at night trying to get out of her enclousure. I just wanted to know if there are signs I should look for that might make this a different case and not just one of those stubborn periods where the snake just won't eat. I thought maybe she was trying to hibernate and so I put some more heat on her cage but she just tryed to get away from it. Any help would be much appriciated. Thanx so much caligirl.
