    Skipping meals due to season?

    My ball has been a steady once-a-week feeder until about a week or two ago. She has absolutely NO interest in anything I offer her. I know ball's will sometimes go on fasts so I'm not worried (yet) but I was wondering if it could be due to the season? Is it like breeding time or something? She's been really active all night recently, coming out for hours and just kind of roaming around (and knocking everything in her tank over, lol) like she's looking for something. Any thoughts?

    I don't know why she's coming out at night, but if your temps have remained consistent she shouldn't be off feed for the breeding season. If everything in right with your temps/humidity/hides she probably has just decided to go off food for a little while.
