All my strong feeders are hit and miss the last couple weeks. Parameters are normal, so I know it isn't illness. It hasn't bothered me the last few years, because if they didn't want what was offered I had another animal that would take the food. Now with many fewer animals, I am loathe to toss out an FT rat and looking to perhaps give this a try.
I remember reading about the folks at VPI doing an induced fast, where for a certain period, they don't offer the snakes any food at all. I'll have to get out my book and look, but I believe it was several months. This theoretically gives the animals time to shut down. I guess this could be something the animals are doing for themselves when they go off feed for a while, who knows.
Anyone else do an induced fast? I'm seriously thinking about not offering at all for a couple months to anything over 500 grams, but even some of my littler ones are sluggish with feeding responses lately.
