    How often should I feed after a "strike"?
    My BP, who has never been a problem eater, went on eating strike for about 6-7 months. Throughout that time, I would offer him a medium rat, but he was totally disinterested. He finally at on Monday. I am wondering how often I should feed him now? He is about 3.5-4 feet, and about 3 years old. He did lose a bit of weight, but nothing major. Before he stopped eating, I was feeding about every 7-10 days. Should I just resume that schedule, or should I feed weekly for a while? Thanks!

    Resuming the every 7-10 day schedule is fine imo...:gj:

    Start offering every week, once they get going they are usually good to go.

    Go right back to your old schedule. He'll make up the weight and be just fine.

    It's good to hear he's eating again!
