    Interested....but not? Help?

    My clown male was eating good on live mice for a while, then stopped. I tried F/T rats and mice and he gets super close to it and licks it and follows it around, but won't strike it. When there's a live mouse in there he just doesn't even pay attention to it anymore. It's been a little over a month since he is eating and he's around 530grams. He has been breeding with my spider, but since he has not eaten lately I haven't bred him lately. How can I get him eating again?

    A breeding male that doesn't eat is very common. The only sure way to get him to eat is stop breeding him and move him away from the girls. A month isn't very long though is he getting thin already?

    Not necessarily thin but he's losing weight. I haven't bred him in a while, but if it's normal do I keep breeding him then eventually he'll eat?
