    Re: Normal finally ate!!!!!!!!!

    I'm so jealous! Penelope hasn't eaten since December 9 and it frustrates me that she's losing weight (not much, but she was sooooo close to 1300 grams). I hope she gets hungry soon! Those frozen medium rats are burning holes in my freezer The babies are plowing through their small rats, you think all the eating would get her in the mood!

    I hear ya! My rescued pastel male, SunSpot, hadn't eaten since Jan. 6th! And he finally took the mouse tonight!

    Heck, even my Amel corn male, who has only eaten one other time since December, ate tonight. AND it was double new - FT(normally took PK) and a rat pup(used to take mice)!

    Congrats to you for the feed as well! It's really great.

    I dread the day mine go off food. It is a scary thought. Good to see they are starting to eat again.

    Re: Normal finally ate!!!!!!!!!

    Nothing scary about it...unless they lose a lot of weight quickly. It's just a mature BP thing. As long as they're doing everything else as they always do (hiding, shedding, etc) and not losing weight too fast, they're fine not eating for a few months. Don't dread it or it'll be even worse when it does come.

    well yea thats a sign to start

    very scary thing. thats the only down side i guess to owning a snake.
