Re: NOT EATING - 6months and running
I just picked up 6 small mice and am going to try 1 after this post. I agree, for her length and age she should be on rats, but I will take the small victories as they come, and hope that she will be accustomed to, and prefer, rodentia smell and taste. I plan on moving up to small rats if this goes well. It's very interesting Terranaut, on your posted point; I did actually have the ambient temp for the last week at low 70's and then cranked the heat into the high 80's two days before feed, with a spot on her lounging log at mid 90's. I was willing to try every technique to stimulate a feeding response. I cannot say if this method is correct, as this is not a controlled experiment, and maybe just a coincidence, but I have results. Crossing my fingers.
