Help me make them eat!!!

Hello all!
I have three ball pythons currently.
Two of them have stopped eating for about two months now! I try every five days and still they don't even appear to be interested. My blonde pastel Felix is still as voracious as ever and eats within seconds of being placed in the feeding cage. Isis my mojave and Boris my normal however seem to have completely lost interest in thier food!!!
What should I do? Its freaks me out that its been this long since thier last meal! Is there anything you guys can recommend trying that you have had alot of success with?
Thanks alot!

How old/ big are they and are you feeding F/T or live?

I've been feeding live mice. I know that its sometimes not a good idea but I've tried frozed thawed mice and they don't eat them. I think its because the breeder I got all three from fed them live.
Boris is two years old and he was actually my boyfriends a year before I met him. Isis is one one year old.

Also I have feed small rats to Boris before and furry rats to Felix and Isis for the first few months I had them.

Deep frying with buffalo sauce and blue cheese works for me. I have heard marinating is good but have not tried it.
Sometimes when all else fails I dress the rat in a little dress and tiny black pumps. That will almost always work:rolleyes:

Really though, don't worry. That's what ball pythons do.


I bet if you do a search you will find some really good advice.

Could also be the winter season. Some of my males have been off for for 4 months. It's what they do during breeding season. My females don't eat as often in the winter either. Don't worry, with spring coming they should be eating again soon.

In the breeding season, prob just off feed

You might try feeding them in their enclosures, that way they can ambush from the security of their hides. If there is alot of open space in their enclosures you can try putting in several pieces of crumpled up newspaper or fake vines in there to fill in some space...

What type of enclosures do you have them in?

Once they are over a year then they can go off feed during the winter! This is completely normal behavior! Just be patient and wait it out! I know it can be very fustrating! We have all been there!!!

yeah man No reason to go nuts, I my Pinstripe hasnt eaten in about 2 1/2 months, She has maintained her weight no problem and I do offer her food every 7-10 days.I would be concerned if they started to loose alot of weight but your good
