    Coming Down from a Fast
    Hi all. :) My BP has been fasting for about 2 months now. But now, he's finally starting to roam and appears to be 'hunting' for food. He's only about a year old... I don't have a scale (I know, I know, I need one!) so I can't tell you what he weighs but I CAN tell you that despite him not eating it appears that he hasn't lost much weight and he looks and acts healthy.

    My question is, should I start back up feeding him slowly? He's a mouser, so he gets multiple mice usually, but since he hasn't eaten for a while should I just start with one large mouse and then gradually work back up to his usual "serving size"?

    Thanks for the advice! :snake:

    I'm interested in this also. Jafar is over a month. When he eats again I wondered if I should start back with 1 size smaller mouse.

    When mine start fasting I usually offer them a size smaller until they start to eat again. Once they start to eat again I usually start feeding them just like normal. I haven't had any problems with it yet
