He ate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe it!!!!
He finally ate on his own!!!

Here's the history of this crazy hatchling: Do-or-die

I did what Don suggested. Don't assist for 2 weeks before trying the assist again. We went 3 weeks... He dropped from 65g to 57g (he was hatched on 7/31, his brother is already 155g). We were gonna do the assist today if he still refuses but to our surprise, he struck/coil/swallowed a live rat within 2 minutes of us putting the rat in there!
I am sooooo happy!!!

If he regurges, I'm gonna cry...

Thats great I hate it when they don't eat my big guy just shut down for winter he did the same thing last year didn't eat for 4 months drove my crazzy.:rolleye2:

:banana::banana: WOOT! WOOT!:banana::banana:

Well make sure the heat is nice a toasty in there, leave him alone for an extra long time and you should be good. I would wait a little longer before trying the next one so he is hungry next time and ready for it. Great job though, i just had my rescuse who is at 40 grams finally eat a LIVE rat pinkie today for the first time. We both are happy campers today!!

YAY!!!!!!!!! :banana::banana::banana: Congrats!
