Feeding

smiffy Mar 07, 2004 08:18 AM

I got a ball hatchling @ the begining of Oct. (bout 8 weeks feeding on defrost small adult mice.) It fed perfect for 7/8 weeks then has stopped. In 3 mnths Ive managed to assist once and every time after that s/he has managed to spit out the mouse. Wot can I do, it still looks healthy and the temp. has not fluctuated (possibly warmer to try help with feeding)Any tips to help feeding???

Its didn't shed for 2 months at that age?? Or did it eat during a shed cycle?

It first stopped 2 weeks before it shed (figures) but never started again, with the exeption of the one time i managed to assist feed if a fuzzie, it then took an adult straight after but hasnt had a thing since then!
