Time to go to the herp vet???

If all that fails, fill his bin with crumpled newspaper and leave him alone for a week, then try offering again at night after you've prescented the room.

My girl was off since the beginning of February, interested, but never ate. Somehow that crumpled paper thing worked when everything else didn't. (picked this one up from one of the other post and thought I'd give it a shot since nothing else worked.)

Do you remove the crumpled paper prior to feeding??? Do I need to worry about the crumpled paper touching my RHP - I only have sooo much clearance and I think it would touch it - I don't want a fire.

Success!! After bumping up the temps and opening up she window's shades for a week, my boy ate after a very long winter fast. He took down a 65 g live asf rat with no problem last night. Now he's comfy, resting and digesting on his warm side. Thank you all so much for your pointers!!:bow:

I was in a reptile shop about a month ago and some guy had the same problem, a ball python breeder told him to get a live gerbil from petsmart, prescent the room, then try to feed your live gerbil with tongs, dont just through him in there. Keep in mind if you do this gerbils and extreamly quick, so hold with tongs. I hope this works for you keep us updated!

don't do gerbils. you don't want to take the chance in getting your ball hooked on them.
