    I know one of the frustrating things with our beautiful bps is their tendency to go off feed and how scary it can be for new owners. I thought it might be nice to see how many bps are not eating now and for how long they've been off feed - just to show how 'normal' it is.

    I think it's official that my Aragorn (a little over 1 year old) is now off feed. He last ate about 9/10 and before that around 8/7. He's still refusing and at this point shows more interest in getting out of the tank to look for a girlfriend than he does in the food - acts as if the food is invisible and doesn't even sniff.

    How about everyone else?

    So who's gone off feed?

    Benny and Suki - both these boys are decidedly uninterested in eating - been over a month for both of them.

    Mine is still eating but he's not sexualy mature so that might have a lot to do with it

    Andy and Sphinx are into three meals each now, but were off for 11 weeks prior.

    Well, I don't think Kitty is off feed, but I do think maybe he is on a slow down. I will know for sure tomorrow, when I try to feed him, if he refuses I will know

    Monty Joe has not had a meal since July 16th. I try every 7 days just in case, but he acts like its not even there, no interest at all in food at this time. Oh well, maybe next week.

    Rexx has been fasting for 3 1/2 weeks. So long that the last batch of mice gave birth yesterday!

    I hope he get's hungey in time to eat the offspring, or I'll become a mouse farmer againts my better judgment. :shock:

    Yeah, Link wouldn't eat the first time I tried to feed him. But then two days after he ate it. So I'll try doin' that.
