Food refusal

[stephanbakir]

Assist feeding is SUPER stressful to the animal, stay away from it unless there are no other options.

Ok thanks guys. I got her at an expo and i know they usually feed right before to make the animals docile so i wasnt sweating it last tuesday(feeding day) but yesterday when she refused again I was concerned. Tonight I will put her in a small container overnight with a f/t and see if she eats. If not i'll wait til next week and take her to a vet if she refuses again. As always appreciate the advice.

^^^^^
this

i had a hatchling go until 10 months of age with no ill effect,shes never missed a feed since

she was a little small for her age but has caught up now shes over 3 years old

try heating your prey item,then puncturing 2 or 3 holes through the skull.

grey liquid should come out the puncture holes

give the head an extra heat with a hairdryer then offer on feeding tongs


if your still in contact with the breeder,you could always get in touch and ask him to tell you his exact feeding method or if there were any little tricks he used to initiate a feeding responce
