Hi all, recently had some success with a method of feeding my little lady so I thought id post it. Story so far, hadn't eaten for over 6 months, would come and sniff the food, but not even interested, had her checked at the vets, done blood tests, the hole works and she's fine, was told about his method by a the chap would runs reptile rescue den in bolton. Basically it involves putting her in a box, putting the box with her in the viv and leaving for about 10/15 mintues so she settles down, then carefully lifting the lid and sliding the food in, leaving her alone for a while, first time i left her for 1 hour and when I checked she'd eaten. Have had 4 successfully feeds since, on the last one i tried feeding her in the viv, she struck for the rat twice but missed both times so she went back in the box, 10 minutes later all gone. I have now made a special box to feed her in and its working a treat so far.
some pictures of my box, it has a sliding plate at the top which makes it easy to put the food in and close it. just need a proper latch for it.
