    No, this isnt a fecal post....lol

    I have heard alot about peoples bp's going off feed. Well.....I think Monty may have decided to fast. 2 weeks in a row now (after successfully switching to pre killed/rat's 4 weeks ago) he has refused his meal. He is constantly lurking like he is hunting. But when I introduce the meal he actually kinda shy's from it. Wont touch it at all. But luckily I have a garbage dissposal (cheetah). This was cheetahs first rat, I wasnt about to waste this one so I figured I would toss a rat in to see what he thought. He took it with no hesitation and ate it faster than Monty has ever put a meal down.

    Im hopping he dosent do this again next time I try to feed him, if he does I may have to try mice again to see if that will appease his appetite ( he had only been eating mice for his 3 years of life before he was switched to rats). I know that they can go a good while without eating, but i would rather him eat a mouse than to not eat at all, heck, he may even refuse a mouse.

    Andy didn't eat for at least 4 months ( that i know of ) and it was definitely more stressful on me than it was on him. I wouldnt get too worried yet.

    Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whomever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya.
