So I have a four and a half year old ball. Have never had any issues with him eating up until a few months ago. I feed him live and he always ate when offered (every time). About 6 months ago he passed on a rat. I waited a week and he ate just fine. This happened one other time. (not consecutive) However, he has quit eating completely. It is coming up on three months now. I have offered rats every couple weeks but he won't eat. He goes nose to nose with them and then sort of retreats. Anyways, I read that you should try to offer something smaller. Tonight i bought a mouse and a small rat. (he was eating medium and large rats just fine before). Well this evening he ate the mouse as soon as i dropped it in his cage. I then dropped the small rat in the cage and he did not eat it. Looking for advice here. Should I be concerned? How should I proceed from this point forward? Thanks in advance for all replies.
