    2 foot BRB refusing to eat

    I have a breeding pair of BRB's and keep them in seperate tubs. Temps are 80 cool and 85-87 warm. humidity is 84 percent. they both have 2 hides including an extra humid hide incase the humidity isnt where it needs to be for them, and a water dish big enough for them to soak in if needed.

    The female is almost 5 foot long and eats 2 large mice a week, and I give the male one medium mouse a week. Here in lies my problem, the female is eating fine but for the last 2 weeks the male who is almost 2 and a half foot long has refused to eat. He shows no signs of being ill and Is perfectly happy in himself in that he only hunts around at night and does his snakey thing. They both shed on the same day 3 weeks ago and it was perfect.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Regards,

    Are you currently breeding them? That could account for his not wanting to eat.

    no im not currently breeding them, but they are kept on the same shelf. could this be the let me at her wanting to breed thing? I would think the female would be off her food as well but im new to BRB's and this is a first to me. IM used to my BP's going off feed but not the BRB's. its driving me nuts......lol

    Unless they have been put together, probably not. Check your temps, and as long as they are fine, I wouldn't worry too much. Just keep offering weekly
