    Man I know exactly how you feel. I've got one who's only eaten one meal since December, and another who hasn't eaten since October 31st. I'm getting anxious to get them up and going again.
    I've got quite a few...

    Why is it so frustrating? We over feed them vs the wild anyway. I use to get all bent out of shape about this but then I learned that this is just the way they are sometimes.

    That's really close to my issue too. Bought a male albino in December and he's only eaten once, weighs only 184 grams....

    Mine went from 220 grams to 212 in 5 months. She still looks fat and plump. When i got her i believe she was 2-3 months old.
