Another aspect of this is consistency......I've been feeding my guys on the same day, about the same time, in the same way (scent the room for about 30 mins to wake them up) and they've eaten much better. I think that you changing things up could have an affect on their overall behavior. Stick to one thing, and do it consistently, and they'll get with the program.

Well I have had him for 3 yrs and for the first he ate f/t no problem and no fast. Then last winter the fast. I was told to try live and pow he ate. Now I have feed live for over a year and he ain't going for it this time.

Always feed same day, same time. Just like clockwork.

Guess just have to wait it out and keep throwing in the live little buggers.
And temps have remain the same pretty much since the start. Upped them last year during the fast and have left them there since then.

Guess as long as temps/humd. stay up and steady and nothing changes in his/my routine he will eat when he is ready.

i think maybe nstead of sensing the heat or humidity of a changing season it could be that they sense the barometric pressure. just a hypothesis of mine.
