Gday,
My female jungle has me baffled with her feeding. She is about 20 months old or so and has always been a bit of a finicky eater. She would always eat mice with gusto and then I had her onto rats for a while and then she went off them, then I had her on day old chicks for a while and now she doesnt seem to want anything - Mice, Rats or Chicks....
Her feeding shedule for the last little while is as follows:
10/6
30/6
28/7
6/8
3/9
and she just shed on the 17/9 and has not been keen on food since then. She is still prowling her cage at night and hangs down in strike position but is just not interested. She has gone a while without feeding before and I know she will eat when hungry but its just frustrating. She weighs abut 650grams( after a big poo). Temps are good in her enclosure and the night times in brissy have been much warmer recently so I would have thought her apetite would be increasing.
Is there anything anyone can suggest to maybe try and get her feeding better?
or should I just maybe only try and feed her everything 3 weeks or so?
or is there something I should be looking for?
Thanks,
Dave
