Our girl Ria has only eaten a small gerbil since December. Her last rat was October. Ive tried all the usual things to tempt her but nothing seems to work. She wasn't even interested in a multi. Boris hadn't eaten since October either but he munched the multi very quickly. Then he refused a rat yesterday. Ive even tried putting them together on the advice of my local shop but she wasn't having any of it! Her weight is fine though. Im more frustrated than worried. Luckily Sas is downing his rats!

That's still well within the 10% weight loss that royals can loose during a fast. Give her a bit more time and just keep offering as normal.
