Stimson not eating

[Col-the-Trucker]

hi all
my stimson's that i have had now for around 5 weeks has just stopped
eating, she was smashing 2 pinkies every 5 days, trying to put a bit of weight on
and she is looking very healthy but her 5th cycle last tuesday, she wouldn't
eat and today (saturday) she wouldn't eat its been nine days now since she ate
2 pinkies, she hasn't shed since i have had her, any thoughts, any body please

Nine days is nothing to worry about.
Has anything changed at all? How is the weather in Brisvevas? What is the temperature of your hot spot? Have you tried leaving the pinky in overnight?
Just leave it a week and try again. You don't want to be annoying it every day or two if it's not interested in eating. That will just make things worse.

i couldn't be happier with her, thanx for your reply

If it still isn't eating after a 2-3 months I'd try a few different scenting methods to see if you can get it eating again.

Sometimes you can have the husbandry spot on but for no apparent reason (even if the weather/season hasn't changed) they go off their food and need a 'kick' start to get their appetite back.
