    Small victories
    Hello. Our (my wife and I) 900 gram male normal went on hunger strike the end of last October. Just wanted to share my joy in watching him eating a rat. I know it doesn't seen like much but for some reason I feel like I won a prize. Anyway just thought I'd share.

    Congrats. Nothing worse than a snake that won't eat.

    Congrads!

    Heard of them going 9 months and still being ok, so that's great news.

    I had a male who went 9 months. When he finally ate it was like a weight had been lifted lol

    Congrats on your victory! I completely understand the feeling. I have a male that's a constant bad eater but also has the spider gene so he has neuro issues. Every meal he takes is a small victory in my book. He's a frustrating little guy but so sweet and silly that I can't help but love him to death. He's taught me a lot of patience and made me a better keeper.

    Thanks everyone!!! He's turned back into his normal piggish self since he first started eating again. Oh well, we still love the little dork.

    I have a normal who pretty much fast every winter. From Oct/Nov to about now she just don't eat. Dosent lose much weight so I don't worry too much. It's also become so normal to me. It's a great feeling once she starts again though
