YAY! Fasting Male Finally Decides He's Hungry!

[HumphreyBoagart]

Sorry, I'm a loser, and I'm really excited because it is a very rare thing that this guy eats, it's been months for this male. I couldn't believe it, I didn't think he was gonna eat whatsoever, but I came back upstairs to see who ate and who didn't. And I was very surprised that he did. I wasn't expecting him to start eating again til springtime. Just wanted to share my excitement. Thanks for reading.

Good stuff, I've got a male that is fasting right now. I wait for when my boa is ready to eat; when the ball turns it down I give it to the boa. So you just left it, and when you came back it was gone?

Yep I couldn't believe it!
LOL! I do the exact same thing with my boas, so I don't thaw it out for nothing.
Good luck with yours.
Thanks for the reply.

Wouldn't it be nice if Balls ate like Boas? My two BCI's never turn anything down.

Grats on the fast ending it's tough to grow them up big if they refuse to eat.

Oh I know! My suris snatch whatever up with the quickness, with one exception.
Oh I'm sure the fast isn't over, he just decided to eat in the middle of it, I'd imagine.
I'm not too worried about getting him big fast though, he's already fairly big! : )

[HumphreyBoagart]

dag when my female ball finally ate i walked around 'glowing' for the rest of the night! i was telling my friends and family cuz i was so happy and they were like---'ew gross, i don't want to know what she ate'. lol.

they just don't understand!! ;)

[HumphreyBoagart]

And they probably never will! That's one thing that makes this site is so good, it's got so many people that actually do understand your excitement.

Good stuff Humphrey!!!

[HumphreyBoagart]

Thanks Jeff! : )
One down! Two to go! It's weird the two males that eat have the best feeding response out of all my balls!?! (knock on wood)

Nice to have them feed again isn't it? I have a female that goes 5 months strong every year and she just ate last night haha. Little buggers.

[HumphreyBoagart]

Right on! There must've been something in the air or a full moon or something last night. I was going to tell everyone with non-feeders to try feeding last night! LOL

I concider my male broke his fast, he's taken 2 rats in a 2 1/2 week time frame.

My female, well we won't discuss what a *cough*Biatch*cough* she is, lol.

She ate a few small meals but still won't feed regularly. First year I got her, she went 6 months and a week. I'm glad she's cut it down to 4 months on adverage, lol.

Oh ya, forgot, Congrads Hump. I always do like backflips when mine break their fast.

[HumphreyBoagart]

Thanks Zero, Congrats to you too! : )

Holy Crow! Just wanted to see what he'd say to another rattie, figured he wouldn't be interested. Boy was I wrong! He came flying out of his enclosure and snatched it up outta my hand as I was still taking the lid off. Gotta love it! : )
