Night time sneak feed is a winner lol.

Personally I'd dry a little later on, the later the better really as to fit in with their natural cycle. Try feeding at night with the lights off - just a lamp on or something so you can see what you're doing!

My female mojo didn't eat for 3 months
I offered her a mouse and she feed
Last time she drop feed on a mouse
I will offer 2 more mice then it's hopefully back to rats

Maybe offer a mouse ? Warming the head up with hot water
If nothing try leaving it in over night
Losing 1g you have no need to worry she with feed when ready

Don't panic ;)

What have you tried so far - rats or mice? What weights? What time of day are you trying - in or out of viv? How are you warming the prey up - wet or dry? Any other senting techniques tried - braining etc?
