    There is nothing that is definitive, you just have too try. there are signs that they are hungry but as I said they do not guarantee that they will eat.

    Cruising around at night is usually a sign of them being hungry.

    Try a different food item. My lesser went off feed for a few months and just ended his strike. He's been fed on rats his entire life but kept refusing after he went off feed. Last week I tried a mouse plus the usual rat. Couldn't hurt to try other things right? And guess what? He took both. Ate the mouse then the rat a second later. Seemed like the mouse scent triggered something in him to strike.
