After ten long months, our little pastel female has decided to start eating! She has not eaten since we got her this past January and she ate the last two feedings. During that time she lost about 200 grams, but always appeared healthy. Just wanted to share this with other BP keepers to show you to not get discouraged or upset when a ball goes off feeding for long periods of time (I know it can be hard). They will come back on their own! Also she started back on frozen/thawed; no need for live.
