caramac has just stopped eating,

first things first she is an cb08 of a health size just under 500g and about 3-3.5 foot long.

we hoved viv size between christmas and new year and she has refused both feeds while she has been in there. (the temps are fine)

she was living in a 9l RUB before this and would not strike feed. we had to just leave a rat weaner at the mouth of her hide and by the morning it would be gone.

but now she just leaves it and moves to the other hide.

would like to now if there is anything i could do to help her feed again.

also when we got her she was on 30grm weaners and have been moving her due to the sizes we had and her last 2 feeds have been 44grm is that too big. she had taken a 40grm 1 though.

sorry bout the waffle. but it just saves a wee bit of time as i no you lot like as much info as possible.

Hi bonnielass and welcome to the forum,your not the only one having probs,2 weeks is nothing to worrie about.Royals can go months without eating,if it contiues just keep an eye on his weight.How about telling us a little about yourself and your snake in the introduction section.

7g in 3.5 months is very little and shows that its just a natural fast and not an illness of any sort in my opinion.

Sure it will change soon with the longer days and warmer weather.
