My girl, Godiva, absolutely loves climbing.
She just moved into her forever home from her quarantine enclosure. When putting together her enclosure I provided her with tons of climbing opportunities and was thrilled to see her using this one this morning!
I’ve had my girl, Godiva, for 9 weeks. She’s 9 months old and eats fuzzies once per week.
The first 7 weeks she came out nightly and was easy to feed since I’d see her all the time. She did refuse 1 meal during that time, but has had 5 successful meals at home (I also waited a week to feed her when she arrived). The past 2, now 2.5 weeks, she’s been hiding 24/7. I’ve dug her out once, not on her feeding day, to check on her. She was fine, not in blue or anything. I’ve also seen her poke her head out once. But she’s never out out anymore so I don’t see her on feeding days. I tried drop feeding the last 2 weeks and she hasn’t eaten.
Her feeding day is approaching and I’m wondering what to do. Can I dig her out to feed her? Should I just keep drop feeding?
I should mention I’ve been tapping the enclosure prior to feeding since she came home.

Most recent picture vs the very first. 5 months and 26ish grams of growth.
I recently got a 7 month old female KSB. Her breeder said she will likely be in the 450-600 gram range at maturity. He sent me pictures of her parents but with nothing for scale, so I’m having a hard time visualizing her adult size.
I am curious how big your females are and if you have pictures for reference?

Any tips for a new KSB owner are appreciated!
