Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

$1400 Wasted!
She'll never be a breeder. 
2006 female in a 6 qt tub.
I could basically buy 1.2 2008's for what she cost me in 2006 and 2008's would probably be ready to breed way before this girl.

No reason. Just won't grow more than 10 grams a month.
She is a very expensive pet.
Not the type of example that works in your favor when you try to justify the cost of a new morph or high vet bills with the wife by saying breeding it will offset some of the purchase price down the road.

Only if I move her to a larger tub will she go off feed for a long time.
She will eat every other week if she is in the 6 qt tub. She also will not touch a rat (live, p/k or f/t) but will take f/t mice.
Been like this since day one. Was never a good eater. When I got her she was 70 grams. She is just under 400 grams now and that is almost 3 years later.

Maybe she doesn't like you...send her over here for a month or two, she'll realize how good she has it & promise to try harder

I may just do that.
Maybe you could get her up to size for the 2015 season. 
Between this girl taking her sweet  time growing and not knowing if my pastel is going to make it, BP's are not popular around here lately.

Yes they are very frustrating... I have an 07 male bee that will only eat 1 mouse at a time. He is barely 400gms and is gay. He was producing plugs when I got him last fall at 250gms. I spent WAY TOO much money for him to curl up in a corner and not entertain the ladies.... LOL....
Good luck with her. Maybe she would be worth looking into ASFs?

Steve,
Have you tried ASF rats at all? The only problem is that some animals once they try them it's very difficult to switch them back. But I have one female that if were not for them she wouldn't eat at all.
