Anyone have adults off feed right now?

I have 3 adults that have been off feed for one month! Usually they don't go off feed this time of year. One is a male and the other two are females! 4 other snakes in the same rack are eating like crazy! I don't get it! Anyone else experiencing this?

yes, i always have at least a couple of balls off feed at any given time of the year. then out of the blue they decide to start eating again....it's their nature!

if your husbandry is in check, then you should have nothing to worry about.

Mine's showing zero interest in food... I don't think it's stress. It's been about a month now, so I'm not extremely worried

Thats what I was thinking because when I open the feamles tubs they both try to go over to the male!

off feed means is time to breed?

Heh,

Only one at the moment - but she did just ovulate so I am not too concerned.

My big het clown girl has been off feed since before the turn of the year. She used to be my best eater. Husbandry is good and a few small changes haven't triggered her (though she does at least look at the rat when it's offered then turns away..), a vet check has shown no health issues, and she's not losing that much weight, so I'm waiting her out.

We've gotta go at the pace they set.
