Really wasn't sure how to word the title
I have a 10 year old 3 ft female Rosy boa. She only eats for about 40% of the year and goes off feed for the rest which is normal for her. That being said I really like to make sure she is eating when she is interested. A couple of weeks ago I ran out of the my frozen mice supply. I picked up a batch of new ones and it isn't going well so far. I have had this issue in the past which usually lasts for one to two feedings but this is going on a month. She is very actively hunting and hungry. When I present her with the thawed frozen mice she will strike it but then looses interested and leaves it behind. Today was the first day she actually wrapped around it for a little bit but once again she didn't eat it. I have one mouse left from the old supply that I tried rubbing on these mice to keep the old scent. It has done no good. Any suggestions? thank you
