childreni not eating

[spydalover]

as the title says my childreni isnt eating i think its just the cold but how long can she go without food at the moment im trying to get her to eat fuzzies which she has done 3 times since i tryed her on them so i dont no should i be worried

 

[Lonewolf]

try a pinky rat or braining it but it could just be the cold check the temps in the enclosure

 

[Kaaza]

how long has it been since you last fed her and how often does she take food

 

[spydalover]

the temps are about 35 hot end about 22 cold

mine has been off its food lately too, it would take it from me but then just drop it, it did this twice the third time i gave it a live fuzzy and left her alone, it ate the live one, i think her tank may have been a bit cold too with this cold snap, so ive increased her enclosure temp

 

[spydalover]

i feed her once a week and she usually takes it

 

[Lonewolf]

like kaaza said how long the python not been eating for

It is most probably the winter/cold causing it.. I have a Childreni, as soon as summer is over, he is off the food, even if I keep the heat up, hotter then normal, he still won't eat.. He also did this last year, so its not unusual.. I have heard that snakes can last 9months without a feed.

 

[Kaaza]

so has it only been a week since she has eaten how old is it

 

[aaron70]

mine went twice not eating for about 10 months

[spydalover]

[spydalover]

[GOOBA]

going into hibination?
not to sure wif spotteds

 

[spydalover]

i didnt think that she would although she has been on the cold side a lot so could be

 

[Ned_fisch]

Some snakes just know that its winter time.. Just try to feed her ever 7-14 days, and she should take a bite when she needs it.. They know when they need to eat.

 

[spydalover]

cool thanks guys

 

[Kaaza]

one of our spotteds did the same thing last year and as a last resort we fed her a live mouse and she took it straight away and hav not had the prob since so as a last resort try it..............................it will work

Bump up your temps to a 28 - 30 ambient.
