At 5' she's probably quite large (how much does she weigh?) so probably doesn't need to feed very often. 5 weeks really isn't much, don't worry too much, but do keep an eye on the weight as you said.
nothing,had a mouse left over from the kings so tried him,took a bit of dancing but he struck it and nailed it.I will try again tommorrow as it was only a regular mouse
Well still waiting for Cleo to take her first meal for me, although she is getting very active within her Viv weighed her the other day and weighs 1443g so is a reasonable weight for her length 5FT, but i guess i have nothing to worry about after reading people on this forum are still waiting for there royals to eat after several months. I sometimes think they know when your worried and just make it worse but pretending to be interested then going to there hide
YES IM OUT have been worried my female hadnt eaten sice i got her but she took a jumbo mouse after i had left it in a bag of old Gerbil litter i got from the local pet shop, would only take one so tried the following day and again she took it next day tried a rat weaner and she struck at that and ate really quick, so now will try a medium rat next week as she's about 1.5 kgs so mice too small and as she ate a rat weaner i guess she'll eat a bigger rat. Now she has eaten ill get some photo's on here so all the people that have been giving advise can see what all the fuss was about, and thankyou all again for advise and support.
I think I am going to sign myself up for the club 12 weeks and counting. He was eating like a champ till little friends (Mites) arrived on a new snake and rapidly became cage mates with the rest of my little tribe. So after I nuked the little stowaways he has not eaten since so far he has lost 110g he was weighing at the start nearly 700g
I'll have to check her diary to be sure, but I think Princess has started her winter fast. Fortunately Feather's big enough to eat what she refuses now.
Yay ime still in although I think Normans anorexia is spreading as my other 2 snakes who are usually bins have missed a few feeds now hope there not all on hunger strike now. It’s a same really as we have juicy gourmet rat on the menu
Hmm, looks like i'm heading for membership of this not so enticing club. Flo hasnt eaten for 4 weeks but did show interest last week so I'm hopeful it wont go on too long.
