Hi

Heffa is still not feeding and it is nearly 4.5 - 5 months

heat on hot end is 88-93
cold end is 77 - 81
humidity sits between 50-65%

Not eaten since she took a large rat, which she ate bum first and struggled for 2 hours

Keep trying her with small rats, one every 2-3 weeks

any suggestions?

How much weight has she lost?

If not a lot, then there is nothing to do, just wait.

Probably about the weight of the large rat she last ate going through her system, keep an eye on the weight, but I'd say that was normal.

ok, thanks

I am wandering if it could also be related to her surroundings.

She is not yet in her 3ft viv, however is 3-4ft long.

Could it be she feels her surroundings are too small?
The box, is about same height of viv - 1ft, and about 2ft width
