Hi all, Tilly hasn`t fed now for 7 weeks. I have tried feeding every 2 weeks but she is not interested. Should i just leave her for a while or keep trying. I am not worried as she is ok and moving about a lot but just wondering how long i should leave it before feeding again. Thanks

What's her weight doing?

I recently had one go 3 1/2 months but barely lost any weight so I wasn't bothered.

Last time i weighed her on 1st December she was 1647g. She still looks quite chunky so i am not worried about her weight as i dont think that she has lost a lot.

Princess hasn't eaten for 11 weeks now, I think she's looking for boys too! I've been offering every fortnight and leaving the rat in for her overnight. I'm sure she'll eat when she's ready, but I feel bad about the wasted rats.

She's too wee! Once she gets big enough she'll probably be getting the unwanted ones though. I'll probably start feeding on consecutive nights, then if Princess doesn't eat it Feather will. She's a little gutbucket!
