    Re: How many people are experiencing feeding refusals currently??
    All of my adults are off feed too, really annoying....

    I got a baby, and a sub adult too. Sub adult is on and off, when its convenient for her i guess lol.

    I only have one and he's off feed and has been for about 8 weeks now! I really don't know what to do. This is the first time he's refused for such a long period of time. Think I should try live? He's always eaten FT mice. I've never fed live. Someone told me to dip the mouse in concentrated chicken broth...anyone ever have any luck with that?

    I have 21 ball pythons in house and only the 5 big breeding girls are off feed, otherwise everyone is chowing down.

    My newest has been refusing for two weeks now, and she's a just baby. (I just tried a while ago, and again, no interest.) It's extremely frustrating. I may have to resort to live. I have no idea if she's too stressed, or if it's something else.

    I have 1 male mojave that's a picky eater as it is so he's Definintely off feed, my bigger normal female is refused last year as well so it was expected, all the rest are still eating fine.

    Re: How many people are experiencing feeding refusals currently??
    My babies and breeders are all eating strong. It's the subadults that are driving me nuts. My fires refused for 3 months before going back on feed but one of them refused this past feeding. My male pied just went back on feed after two months of not eating. Some of my female pastels haven't eaten in 4months. I've got a female black pastel that hasn't eaten in a while either but she's always been inconsistent. I've talked to another guy that keeps all types of stuff and he's had a lot of issues due to the inconsistent weather down here (Houston). We've had extreme cold and then it warms up and then it drops a bunch again. We're seeing 30-40 degree temperature swings. He's got a lot of rattlesnakes he's had trouble with. My dumeril's is really driving me insane. She's only eaten a handful of times since I got her in October. I've tried everything but she only occassionally eats. I'm just keeping an eye on everybody's weight and crossing my fingers this clears up in the spring.
