Re: My CA king hasn't eaten for 3 weeks

Robert Applegate and others describe your situation as having to "offering delicacy items" to induce feeding.

Many times a male will go off feeding during the Fall and even in the Spring just out of brumation but can be stimulated to feed again with these "treats."

Also, Gravid females can be enticed with smaller prey items or live prey items twhich give them necessary and advantageous calories that help with gestation and the amount of time it takes from pre egg laying shed to egg laying.
