Re: Problem feeder

Not necessarily true, My girl's temp dips into the mid 70s at night and she feeds like a champ and is growing steadily eating mouse hoppers at 7mos

If the humidity at night is no issue I would attribute the lack of feed response to a change in prey GTPs can be picky eaters we had an issue when we initially got her with feeding. To get her to start I took the f/t prey and tickled her tail with it. Since it is my understanding that they 'fish' with the tip of it it was a natural hunting response that got her to eat. Since then the only time she refused a meal is when I offer a rat or any kind of rat smelling food item.

It could also be stressed after changing homes. Just offer food every 7-10 days and try tickling the tail and body with the food.
