    That's fine, then, though if he's on a seasonal fast you might want to spread it out to every ten days to two weeks to save yourself some money and stress.

    You're welcome. It really is more stressful on us than it is on them. :)

    Yeah, I'm just worried cause he seems underweight.

    I wouldn't worry too much. If he seems to be consistently fasting after another month or so, I'd drop his cage temps a few degrees (similating natural winter temp drops but to less extreme), which will make it easier for him to keep his weight up by keeping his metabolism down. Just be careful and watch for RI.

    Its still kinda stressfull to watch your bp not eat after you try your hardest to do everything right.

    Definitely. As long as he's healthy and ate well before his fast and you keep up on husbandry, he should make it through to spring just fine and start eating again for you. It's stressful for us anyway though.

    Yeah, will do.
    Thanks for all the help Marla.
