Stopped Feeding

[Jotun]

How do you know when your BP has gone off it's feeding schedule? My BP has stopped it's regular weekly feeding of 4 adult mice (he's a little over year old and about 3 1/2 ft long). He hasnt eaten in about 2 weeks and will not accept mice or small rats.

When he stops feeding regularily

My BP has stopped it's regular weekly feeding of 4 adult mice (he's a little over year old and about 3 1/2 ft long).

Have you tried switching him to rats? IMHO more than two meals per feeding is too many for one feeding.

yea i'd go with a medium rat.

he was eating small/medium rats til i didnt smack one hard enough and it bit him... pansy snake :P so i;ve had him on mice since. The monday before last i tried rats but he didnt take. I've also noticed that the snake is VERY active all of a sudden

Well, I would try to get him back on rats instead of putting him through the stress of 4 meals at a time. It sounds now though, that he is fasting for the winter. They do usually become more active as well since they are lookin' for love this time of year :bsmile: :bsmile:
