Hey all
. So for those who don't kow m 6 month old retic has not taken food for about a month now. He's fed medium live rats I have tried all the tricks and frozen stunned p/k ect. No luck. He is just always ERy defensive. Even when I go to hold him he's calm outside the cage but whenever something including prey bothers him he just gets irritated. So I wanted to make some more open space in his cage to get him used to no hides and have a larger hunting and ending space. So now his 4 foot by 1 foot by 2 foot high and is just aspen bedding floor and a medium size banch and water dish. He mostly stays on the warmer side ow because he likes the branch. I feel like he misses his hides I eel so bad
. Should I return them? Or just let him get used to it. I did cover the front with a towel for security. Temps are mid 70s most of the day and night with a hot spot in the 90s. Everything seems perfect. Yesterday I tried a small live rat to less intimidate him but it was a no go. I just don't get it. I had feeding issues when I first got him as a hatchling then he was doing so well and now he's off feed again. So basically, when should I panic? What more can I do to help him and make him comfortable? I am sorry for so many posts I just worry and like to hear others opinions I don't know personally many people in my life with the hobby
Thanks so much everyone for the advice over time hopefully I'll have good news soon. Btw he is about 1100 grams and 5 foot lavender albino many pics in my other posts I need him to eat! So he can become the gorgeous giant I paid so much $ for lol
