right people i need sum new ideas
i have tried braining, smaller food items, mice, leaving food in rub with tea towel over the top, scenting with chick thighs, tuna brine, chicken soup!!! and assist feeding but none seem to work.
the temps are fine
i have noticed rapid wieght loss in the last 6/7 weeks
and as she is only 10 months old im getting worried
its been almost 5 months since she last ate
Any ideas will be appriciated

Try upping the temperature a little bit. I have a friend who keeps royals who absolutely swears by this, and she never has trouble with them feeding.
But other than that I can't say, I don't keep Royals, but I hope she feeds for you soon! |

I wouldnt stress. Its not a long time for your royal not to eat. Whats she weighing at now and then? |
