HI, THIS IS MY FIRST POSTING SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A THREE AND A HALF FOOT FEMALE DIAMOND CROSS JUNGLE, AND I CANT GET HER TO EAT. I HAVE TRIED LIVE AND FROZEN(THAWED) ADULT MICE,RAT FUZZIES, AND RAT PUPS, AND NO LUCK. DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEAS? YOUR HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU!

You can try chicks, mine will eat about ten or twelve of them at a time. The only problem is, that they can get hooked and won't except anything else. If you just bought her, I would leave her alone for a week or so, keep the temps and humidity up high then try again. They can go a long time without eating so give it some time to acclimate(sp?). Good luck, Eric-
