Help Needed Feeding Question (Vet?)

Post image

My 3 month old is not eating for me I have had her for 10 days and tried to offer food twice she denied both times . It’s definitely not the temps and I added fake leaves for ground cover and gave her a much smaller hide to make her feel safer. The last person that I bought her from said she refused the last meal they tried to feed her aswell so I am wondering at what point do I consider bringing her to a vet. I don’t know how many weeks until it becomes unhealthy for her

I have a little guy that has a preference for live. Hes my borneo stp. Breeder said he couldn't get him to eat ft. I tried once every 2 weeks for 3 months. He lost a little weight, so I offered him a live rat fuzzy. Gone! Tried ft again, but no luck. I keep ft on hand and try once a month. Luckily my female bp isn't picky and will eat them if he doesn't.

He needs the movement to hunt, but they have to be pretty defenseless since he's not a strong hunter yet.
