Every week or two weeks?

He's over 1000 grams, and it's winter. It's possible he has decided that there are other things in life that are more interesting than food.

If so, he may start eating again next May. ;)

I'd offer food every 2 weeks until he starts accepting it again, then you can go back to the weekly schedule.

Alright everything is great.....
Except my cool side is at 75!!! Oi Vey....
Could that be making him not want to eat?

He probably wants a female :wuv:
:P haha not gonna happen, while Im at college at least.

You can continue to try every 7 days, but at this time of year he may be starting to fast. If he keeps refusing you can start trying every other week. He's not gonna die if he only ate every other week so you'll be fine. He may not eat for months though. Just keep an eye on his weight.:gj:

My boy still hasnt eaten. I even offered him a rat today. He just wants nothing to do with it. And I even left it in there a couple hours but didn't have any luck. I hate feeding issues!!! All his husbandry is as it should be! What is going on? Will he really maybe fast until may!?

He is now at 997 grams

i have a maile that hasnt eaten since dec 3rd hes 500gms.. his in shed now so im hoping he will want to eat after he sheds

I feed my 2.5-3 yr old 1,432g female (weighed her after her latest poop and 6 days after her last feed) every 2 weeks and I have had very good results! She is still gaining weight and is healthy and happy. Feeding every 2 weeks will NOT harm a snake. All of mine (2.5-3yr old Female Ball Python, 4 year old male Florida King and corn) are bimonthly except my 2010 Amel Cornsnake. He gets fed every 7 days but once an adult, hes going to bimonthly also. So... i guess whatI'm trying to say is every 2 weeks is fine!

Edit: I also feed my BP a 40-80g small rat every 2 weeks
