I know T’s will fast for long periods but my T acts as though she’s going to eat the prey when I put it in but then suddenly backs off of it as if she’s scared of it. I remove the food within the recommended 24 hours. Is this a “T thing” that I shouldn’t worry about? She seems healthy. But it’s just difficult to feed her and I just want some advice. She’s a sub adult and I stick to an appropriate feeding schedule so I don’t believe I’ve over fed her or anything.</p></blockquote><p></p>
