You can always call Will. His number is on his web site and he would be more than willing to help you. Next it depends on things. What are you feeding her?? have you tried live?? How are you feeding her?? Is she in an area where there is a lot of traffic in your house?? 3 weeks is no reason to freak out. Some people only feed every three weeks. My male didn't eat for over 8 weeks while it had mouth rot. I would suggest calling Will in the morning and asking him what to do. Later

I agree contacting Wil is a good idea. We purchased a pair from Leary a few months ago and had trouble getting them to eat at first. Jared called Wil and he was very helpful. One thing he said to avoid was trying to feed it everyday if it refused. This will only stress it out. Our problem was too big of a platic tub and we were trying to feed pinky mice and rats. Ours preferred live fuzzy mice. We opened their cages without disturbing them too much and dropped in the fuzzies. We would check back in about 15 minutes and they were always eaten. Eventually we switched to F/T. My friend Keoni also purchased a jungle from Wil and his ate with no reluctance at all. I would contact Wil and discuss your set up and feeding strategy with him. He may be able to pinpoint what the problem is.

Like the expression says, "Way cool!"

80 should be the minimum on the cool end.
