Tips on getting my girl to eat???

cgaines Jun 03, 2005 03:39 PM

My '04 female pastel is refusing to eat for over 2 mos. Temps are good, tried feeding mice, rats, hampsters, gerbils, live and prekilled. And still not interested in eating. Any advice? I know that she will be okay, but I am really anxious to get her to eat. Everyone else in my collection seems to have a healthy appetite.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I had a male go 3 months and as a matter of fact he just ate the other night after a two month fast. A lot of other people in here have had snakes go much longer than that. As long as she isn't loosing any weight then don't worry. If she starts to loose a lot of weight then you may want to take her to a vet but I would give it some more time.
