With an adult? Never, it can take time, it can take tweaking the husbandry, but last thing you really want to do is offer an alternative type of prey unless you are willing to do so long term and some are just not advisable.

It's really about patience and understanding that they are very efficient, I had animal half that size fasting for 6 months and animal that size fasting for a year.

Here is a picture of him that I just took today. To me he looks a little "deflated" but he hasn't lost much weight. This is after a very large poop and missing 4 meals.

My girl is almost up to 5 months now. She is 3.5 years old and 1600ish grams. I wouldnt worry. Remember a lot of BPs you see are stuffed like Christmas turkeys. They really dont need to eat every week but a lot of people feed them that often.
