My male hasn't eaten since November.

Very stressful. He's lost some weight, but I would too I guess?

As long as it's not very significant weight loss, it should be fine (or so I was told). I guess that's the good thing about this thread, you can see how others are in the same boat so it helps reduce the stress some. I still can't believe Bruce's bp didn't eat for a year and a half! And lots of november members - breeding season, I guess.

How much weight loss is too much?

I had a male go 6 months and now I got a female thats been a couple at least, both pastels:taz:

8 Months, and a few almost a year..

I can't find the place that said it... but I read that over 20% of weight lost is too much. I thought it was in this forum that I saw that mentioned but I can't seem to find it in the search.

My B.P. is going on about 8 weeks. NOTHING comp. to my late one which went about 8 MONTHS!!!!!! Then out of nowere....... Boom! Feeding on the Reg. again.

I have 3 that havent ate since 12/29 & 1/11 thats what they do.

I have quite a few that are off feed. Some are because of breeding, and some are because they are still trying to get used to their new enclosure. I transferred them from 32 qt tubs to 41 qt tubs, and a few still have not eaten. I do not worry about it anymore unless they are loosing weight.

Unfortunately im a member...I have a spider bp and a cali king that have both gone without eating for about 4 mos. I know some go on winter fast so hopefully theyll get back to downing those rats im breeding for them soon
