So, I got Lenore 6-16. She ate (live adult mice) 4 Fridays in a row before I got her. Apx 6wks old. Since I got her, she's refused an adult mouse on 6-27, and now a rat pinky today (7-7). I know she ate, cause she was all full of mouse when I got her, and she pooped oodles.

Now, since she hasn't eaten for 1 month out of her 2 month life, should I take her to the vet to get checked for parasites? She's starting to get thin.

If she is starting to get thin, that's the time when you should start to worry. Try to get a stool sample to take with you to the vet(has she pooped OODLES lately?)LOL! Good luck.

Well, she pooped once with a big poop.

Since I can't get her to eat again, I can't get her to poop.

If she's not looking thin, at what point should I worry? With adults and sub-adults, I don't worry. But hatchlings are a different story.
