SIXX'S NOT EATING

[rding]

SIXX IS ABOUT 8 OR 8 1/2 MONTHS OLD. ALWAYS POUNCED ON HIS FOOD THE MINUTE HE SAW IT. HA HAS BEEN FASTING AND ALMOST ACTS SCARED OF THE RAT. HE HASN'T EATEN IN 3 MONTHS........I KNOW THIS CAN BE NORMAL......ANY SUGGESTIONS???? ANYBODY HAD A BALL THAT FASTED??? IF SO, HOW LONG??? I GET A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT HIM.........

Everyone who has a BP either has experienced this, or will. Try not to worry about him too much....leave him alone as much as you can. I offer food every two weeks during a fast if I'm not trying to get them to breed. Stick to what was working before, and he will come around when he is ready.
