Self-brumation?!

My male western hasn't eaten since mid-October. (The cat has been enjoying his refusals!) He's always on the cool side, room temp is 69. Should I just leave him alone? Or keep offering food every week or so? I know he went off feed last winter, but I can't remember how often he ate. (I keep a calendar now.)

I'd offer every week or so. I take it there's a warm side to his cage?

Yep, there's a uth, but most of the time I find him behind the water dish on the cool side.

The little beast finally ate last night! I put him in a deli cup with a large pinky. When he still hadn't eaten by bedtime, I put the cup into his viv and turned out the lights. It must have smelled way too yummy, cause he has a big old belly this morning!

Sorry kitty, no mice for you today!
