|  | Subscriber | | | | a few more Q's about my bredli Hi again i tryed to feed mojo a pinkie rat today but she didnt want anything to do with it, she is due for a feed apparently. when i picked her up the breeder said that she will be fine to feed by thursday. i took her out of the enclosure to feed her. should i put the pinkie rat in her enclosure with her and see what happens over night? it is curently sitting on the heat mat so it is fairly warm.
thank you for looknig reading and replying!!!

I don't take any of my pythons out to feed. If they are hungry they will take it where she is. |

And try feeding her after dark, just leave the mouse in there for a few hours... if she still doesn't want it, remove the saucer and mouse. Leave her to settle in for another week, and try again... she won't starve.
Ours are now to the point that they see the saucer (all the same size, shape colour) and get excited... the saucer means food, not our hands...
