my childrens python has stoped eating rats ??

[luke_1996]

hi,
i have a female childrens python, about 2 years or so. she was eating pinky and fuzzy rats fine, but she has suddenly stopped? when i try to feed her she won't take a rat, but will take a mouse straight after?
anybody got any ideas?

answers appreciated!!

If she's 2 years old, she should probably be eating adult mice or small rats. If she prefers mice, go with that for a while. If she's 2, she may quit feeding for winter, even if she has heat all winter. Adult Antaresia often do this, so don't panic.

One of my blondes is 2yr and eats small rats that youd never think he could manage but powers them down.
But it is the start of there breeding/cooling season so as long as it has good condition on it i wouldnt worry.
