1200g Fast

Hey guys,

I was just wondering how long have these fasts lasted for some of you? I just thought I'd get a rough average so I can maybe get some reassurance from it if this goes for awhile. My girl hasn't eaten for a month and two weeks. She was on frozen and didn't eat so i got her a live rat and now I've had the live rat for 3 weeks because she's not eating that either. She seems scared of it. I was told about pithing but do i actually smear brains on the live rat? if she doesn't eat it what do i do? so just thought i'd ask for a rough estimate of fasting time.

How is the temp in her cage?

My boy hasn't eaten since the beginning of December. I keep trying though.

Mine decided it's feeding time after 7 weeks ;) And it's possible it can last even months :3

A couple of the current members of this Forum have had BPs go on fast for a year.

Its ranged from 1-6 months for me.
Just monitor weight and keep offering food regularly.

Both of my BP's haven't eaten since November. I try to feed them every 3 weeks or so but they wont take it. Its not the first time its happened, though. Seems to happen this time of year, for me at least. I recently took them to the vet for a routine check up and mentioned they weren't eating. He almost laughed saying its totally normal (assuming their enclosure was up to par).

I say check your temps and humidity to make sure its ok and monitor their weight. Other than that, I say don't worry.. As for the rat, either return it to the pet store (I doubt they'll give you a refund now) or get yourself a small cage to house it. This has happened to me as well. LOL...

My albino has been off fed since Dec 25th 2013.

Last weigh in was Jan 30th at 1120g

We have had a het pied female hit 1500 grams and then boom off feed. She went 13 months before she started eating again and now she is close to 2000 grams. Welcome to ball pythons!
