I know, I'm sorry, I know this is annoying, but I'm so happy I just have to tell you, my female maccy ate!! She is so underweight, and wasn't eating, but now she has eaten and I can stop worrying

I'm just so happy

[spottedpython]

[Incredible_Reptiles]

If you cut him in to small enough pieces and freeze him....

but now she has eaten and I can stop worrying

Unless she ate too much, or too little, or the mouse was too hot, or too cold, or maybe bacteria, or...........

Hehehe, sorry, couldn't resist What I meant to say was..... Congratulations

[Nome]

LOL @ afrofish YOu know me well.

Thanks for the congrats everyone. It's just such a relief.

Maximus, she is nearly 3 years old. I've had a friend that had a non-eating hatchie, and the breeder had only fed it on skinks . She bought some skinks to rub on the mice, and now it eats. I don't know if that is your problem? WAs she feeding on warm bloods before?

Thanks again everyone.

Hey, well done Nome, always nice to get our scaley freinds eating well. Yah!!!

[Nome]

Thanks Instar

I've got a double victory. I was able to trick my scrubbie hatchie into eating, by holding the pinkie (trying a pinkie because I'm desperate, won't eat anything else) in a position, so when he strikes at it, the whole thing is in his mouth, and it is too much hassle for him to spit it out (what he normally does). I did this and while he was pondering what to do, I covered his tank with a towel and quickly exited the room. Four hours later I checked, and NO PINKIE!! Usually, I'll check the next morning and whatever I fed him is lying on the floor. So, I'll do this for a couple of days, and hope he will then move onto something bigger.

I'm very happy Thanks to all that helped me with the problem with their great advice.

Nome - chuck a live mouse in there, he will destroy it. Scrubs can be a bit tempremental...I had mine on thawed, and now they have gone off it...
