off feed?

[rwg]

Hey all,

Just wanted an opinion. My corn went more or less off feed about a month ago. She had been eating 1 or 2 adult mice per week up til then. I managed to get her to eat one fuzzy in the last 4 or 5 feeding attempts. Someone suggested to me that it might be because of breeding season. Just so you know, she's just over 3 feet, somewhere close to 250g, and approximately 2 years old.

This change also coresponds with a move to a larger custom home from a large rubbermaid, and a 40 gallon aquarium before that. She fed well and often living in both her previous enclosures. She has always been fed out in the open prior to this. We've now tried open feedings, dark bins, clear bins, and home enclosure feedings with very little interest in each case.

So, my question is, does mating season effect female feeding behavior like this very often? If not, can anyone suggest an alternative explanation?
