Re: help, problem?

the goldfish may be partly responsible
if I were you I'd just fatten her up with good food
if it's breeding, you're worried about, you can kick in her hormones with a very short brumation period once she's in better shape

Re: help, problem?

Chicken hearts may be a good substitute to pinkie rats because its a human food source too.
I use it allways for my adult snakes in addition to fish and rodents.
