It's been 4 months since either my Lesser Mojave female or my Phantom male have eaten, and i'm starting to get worried. Their usual hunger strikes last about 2 or 3 months during the winter and their weights don't seem to fluctuate too much during that time. But since this 4 month strike started in the middle of September, they have lost what I think is a chunk of weight. Looking at my records the Phantom male, he weighed 870g when he last ate, and now his weight hovers around 720g. As for my Lesser Mojave female, she weighed about 1850g when she last ate, and her weight is now hovering around 1630g. Both are still active and they don't show no signs of illnesses or even sheds, although they seem to be a little bit skinnier than their usual selves. I've been offering them f/t small rats every 1 1/2 weeks or so, but they don't seem to show a bit of interest in them.Their temps are gauged with a infra-red temperature gun, and the cool sides stay at about 74F-76F where their hides are, while their hot spots stay at about 85F-92F with the humidity ranging from 50%-60% with daily mistings. However, this has been the first season I've introduced this pair together which I started at the end of October where he was introduced into her cage about every 2 weeks and kept with her until I witnessed a lock up, or 3 days had passed. At which point he was put back in his cage to recuperate and rest. Thus, i'm thinking that the breeding season and idea of mating has got the better of them, and that's why this fast has gone on for so long. I'm just really concerned about these drops in weights are over this 4 month hunger strike and if this is normally seen in other breeding pairs during the breeding season. If you need current pictures of them or their housings, I will be more than happy to upload some some if it gives you a better perspective on my situation. Thank you again, and your help and advice is greatly appreciated!!!!
