I know it happans and i got over the frustration in March so its just concern now.
My albino has been off feed since the end of Febuary. (Which I know is a small amount of time)
I got him back in December He weighed 431. Skipped the first week we had him and then did great on F/T mice. We needed to run the mouses head under very hot water for a bit to get him to take it.
Jan he weighed 561
March 1st he weighed 672. In early March he finished quarantine. I asked a breeder for advice and they said if I placed him with the female chances are he would eat after. I did that for 4 days. He did not eat. I gave him 4 days off then tried another 4 days. They never locked that I saw but it does not concern me because he is young. The next feed he refused again but then he shed but I have not placed him back with the female. We purchased a hair dryer and tried heating the head up after it was thawed no go.
He finally shed his first one with us and it came off fine no issues.
So again a refusal last night and he is down to 608. He acts fine. No sign of RI. He is the only one in the rack not eating. I really thought last night he was going to take it. He was following it and he got close enough where he touched with his tongue did that for a bit and then backed off and went back to his hide. I left it in there overnight hoping but no it was still there.
other options? He only takes mice. I would prefer to use up other options before trying live.
