Anyone have adults off feed right now?

I have 3 adults that have been off feed for one month! Usually they don't go off feed this time of year. One is a male and the other two are females! 4 other snakes in the same rack are eating like crazy! I don't get it! Anyone else experiencing this?

I had / have a couple three girls off feed right now also

yes, i always have at least a couple of balls off feed at any given time of the year. then out of the blue they decide to start eating again....it's their nature!

if your husbandry is in check, then you should have nothing to worry about.

Mine's showing zero interest in food... I don't think it's stress. It's been about a month now, so I'm not extremely worried

Yep, many of mine are off right now...Pairing them up to see what happens...

off feed means is time to breed?:confused:

Heh,

Only one at the moment - but she did just ovulate so I am not too concerned. :P

My big het clown girl has been off feed since before the turn of the year. She used to be my best eater. Husbandry is good and a few small changes haven't triggered her (though she does at least look at the rat when it's offered then turns away..), a vet check has shown no health issues, and she's not losing that much weight, so I'm waiting her out.

We've gotta go at the pace they set.

about 15 of my girls are off feed some have started to ovulate finally. have a 4 year old pastel female who eats off and on. might go 6 months without eating then eat for a few months then stop again. if everything is ok just wait them out. they wont starve themselves to death

i understand that ''big ready-breeding adult'' female goes off feed to go into breeding mood.. but my female is only sub-adult n not breeding age.. but y do they goes off feed as well..? :(

If you feed them too much then they put themselves on a diet! They have to watch their figure you know! :rofl::rofl::rofl:
