Hello! I have had my baby Green for about 3.5 weeks to a month and it is not wanting to eat. I was wondering what I can do. I have tried several mice alive and dead. I have also tried a live fish. Let me know any other ideas you have for me. I just want her to start eating. Im not worried at this point but I just want her to start eating. Thanks a lot!

Prior to eating baby greens some times take a while to adjust to new surroundings. What is your setup/temps/humidity? If you don't have two snug fitting hides-one at the cool side and one at the warm side-I highly recommend them and they are essential in getting a baby green to feed. Avoid the fish-loaded with parasites.
Take a small, warmed up frozen thawed rodent and leave it at the entrance to her hide over night and she may take it. If not try a warm, F/T rodent soaked in chicken broth first off tongs and then left over night. Be patient and she should start taking the scented rodents. After a few feedings you can drop the chicken broth scent. I wish you the best with her-let me know how she is doing-Bill.
