Hello everyone, just an update on my 1 year old boa. The last time I asked for help, she would not eat, well then she went to rat pups and I would just throw a med rat in and she would eat it as well. Well now she will eat frozen rat pups, but not any other size rat. I have tried all sizes but she just wants that rat pup, this has gone on for about three weeks. She did go on a 4 month non eating period. I did raise the humidity to around 60%, but stil no go on the rats. She goes up to it and I wiggle it the same way as the rat pup and no go. She eats every 7 days now. Do you think I should hold off another week and try another med rat, or stay with the pups. Problem with that is now she just grabs them from the tongs and swallows no coils. Let me know what you all think
Thanks again
Jeff

Well i have a few who have been on F/T all there life that wont coil on occasions but for the most part they will attack and coil...I would wait her out but thats just what i feel comfortable doing with my stubborn eaters, if she doesnt want the Medium then you can go back to the pup leading into the medium and then hopefully just the medium over time.. good luck and keep the updates comeing

Sincerely,
Rose Hipskind
