And apparently I'm not the only one, which is making me feel better already. He's male, about a year old, 660 grams as of 3 weeks ago. Out of the blue, he's refused his food twice in a row, which he never has done even once before. Nothing in his environment has changed...temps are 90-94 warm side, 78-82 cool side, humidity 50-60% and he's in a 20 long with newspaper substrate. He's not going into shed as far as I can tell, and shouldn't be for at least another few weeks.

He hasn't eaten in 2 weeks, when he normally eats weekly. I know balls can fast a long time, but is there anything I should try to get him to eat? Or should I just wait it out, and assume he'll eat when he's ready? Is there a particular amount of time after which I should be worried (like a month, two months)? I've been offering food on his normal feeding day, once a week. Last week he wouldn't even come out of his hide, but today he was out and appeared to be hungry. I did the usual mouse zombie dance and he followed, but after he sniffed the mouse he lost all interest and eventually curled back up in his hide. So I think he's hungry, but he still won't eat.
