Do you think he's fasting?

I haven't been around lately, but I thought I would update you guys. He's only eaten one mouse since I made this post. However, I've been watching his weight and he hasn't lost a gram. He's still active and alert, but hasn't shed. I've been offering him food every week, but he's just not interested in eating.

I think you're ok Owl. I'd offer food every 10-14 days until he starts eating again so you don't waste as many feeders. My MBK has only eaten 5 times in the last 4 months. She's not losing weight either. I'm pretty sure they'll pick up as the temps warm up and/or breeding season winds down.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure he's okay, but it's just a little frustrating. I haven't been wasting food with though. What he turns down I feed to my male corn snake, who isn't off food.
