Hi all, hope you are all well.

Since i got Percy, she has fed for 3 consecutive weeks with no problem..however, she refused last weeks feed (I didn't worry, as her eyes were very blue so presumed this was why she didn't eat. However she has shed and Ive tried her again but she still hasnt eaten. Im not going to start worrying yet, as that only makes a total of 2 weeks minus food and I know snakes can last ages without feeding.

Im just confused as to why she would seem to be feeding fine and then go back to not eating. Last night, when I put her in her feeding box she seemed very annoyed with the mouse and just searched for a way out!

anyway ill stop rambling , my question is- when a feed is refused, should I offer again the next evening ? or leave it a few days? Or until the next week??

Thanks.

I always wait till next feeding day, is best not to offer very day this can put them off food by stressing them over it.
