DP too placid or still waking up

[Mysnakeau]

I tried to give OPALS her first feed - a thawed small rat. I thawed it in hot water. She's been in hybernation & hasn't eaten for 4 months but a friend turned her heat up a week ago and said give her a week to warm up before trying to feed her. I was waiting for my friend to come back and help with the first one as I was a bit nervous of the "not knowing" what to expect. But we were a bit impatient so tried to have a go ourselves. But I think I'm gonna have to wait anyway.

She wasn't interested I dangled it in front her, accidentally dropped it on her head a couple times , absolutely harassed her with it, which she didn't appear upset about. I even handled her, with the smell of rat on my hands and she couldn't care less. I ended up leaving it in her cage overnight. This morning it was still there so I took it out and chucked it.

BTW - Opals has gained another foot in length from my estimation. I got to measure her while she was exploring the kitchen floor, and she is just over 5foot. So my "2foot" pet is just a wee bit bigger than that.

Give her some more time. It may be because it is still cool outside, not unusual for them to stop eating when it is cool outside even if they are kept warm.
