Trouble feeders
How long would you let an adult or sub-adult go without eating before consulting a vet? I have 2 adults and a subadult that haven't fed since November and am getting curious...
Temps are within average ranges, the other 6 are eating fine. Tried live F/T, rats and mice, gerbil-seasoning prey, and leaving them alone with a F/T overnight. Both adults have bred, the sub adult was chewed on by a live rat with the previous owner.

The ones that have been bred might be gravid and if so will not eat until they drop the eggs.They can go a year without eating.So unless they are looking sickly and losing weight i would not worry yet

Re: Trouble feeders
How much weight would a female have to lose before you thought it was too long?
One of my girls seems to have an aversion to feeders now....she'll turn and head the other way when she smells them!
