Not that you'd want to but a ten year old BRB could go a year without eating. How long have you gone in the feeding standoff before you flinched and fed her fresh?

Unless you're breeding her and need to get the calories into her, maybe you should let her get good and hungry before you even offer her food. Like a month or two!!
