off-feed; not fun..!

Well, little SoCo has decided that eating is not a fun thing.. he has refused his last two meals. I hate when this happens; I guess that my snakes have been spoiling me in the recent past by always wating (except for the breeding girls of course.) Just venting.. anyone else singing the nonfeeder blues? :rolleye2:

Well... I've decided to fast (until I get my lazy butt off to the store)... And I'm most DEFINITELY singing the non-feeding blues, or at least my tummy is... lol. Ehh... fine I'll go...

::sending hunger vibes towards SoCo::

WHAT!?! you mean for the last six hours he hasn't eaten anything? OH NO

anyway, yeah I have a large female who is perfectly fat and decided she'd rather not eat and just be really restless for a few weeks. I'm not nervous for her, I just hate when they don't eat, even though I know they're fine I still just really want them to listen to me and just do what I ask... *come oooonnnn guysss (whines)* I think I started a thread whining a month ago or so too when my other female took some time off, and my female boa did too. I just want them to eat when I offer it, is that so hard? haha

I have one that hasn't eaten since 12-14-06 :mad: but hes only lost 200 grams and is still over 1100 grams. It was my fault I couldn't get sm rats last year and was feeding him med rats every week.. Still a good shape and very healthy but just not hungry.

Yeppers know all too well...My pastel boy who decided to start breeding very late into the season quit eating at the beginning of the season...his last meal was 11/1/06 :(


But on a good note he has only lost about 50 grams...so I am not worried.

I have a girl that hasn't eaten regularly for me since I got her a few months ago. She's not as fat as I'd like her to be, but still not in bad shape... I guess I just have to wait.

The Emperor was off his feed since November until about four weeks ago until I jump started it for him. He has become quite the piggy since.

didn't include before cuz he's not a ball, but he needs love and mention too, one of my candoia males has not eaten since october... not worried yet though since he's still looking good.

Auryn hasn't eaten for the last 4 weeks. I'm trying to get him to switch from mice to rat pups and he turned his nose up 3 weeks in a row. I'm out of rat pups, won't have any for another week and a half, and hope that he's feeling more hungry by then. I'm going to pick up some rat pups and used mouse bedding and see if I can't get him fooled.

He ate every week for me like clockwork before that, though...I'm sure if I had been offering mice instead of rat pups these last few weeks, he would have had at it. :rolleyes:

Hope everyone's non-feeders are feeding for them soon!

Oh how well I know the frustration :mad: I have a 10 month old that has learned how not to grow just stay the same. This gal will eat a medium mouse and wont touch another for 3 to 4 weeks and then again 1 mouse, this process just keeps repeating itself over and over. She has been at 270 grams now for 3 months, Im so ready to pull my hair out if I wasnt already losing it. Her sister is at 340 grams. Oh well I guess thats part of it. Jimi
