I posted a similar thread almost a month ago on the same topic .. all of you concurred that this might be a normal cycle that my BP is going through right now .. but I just want to ask again, and see what my next steps should be.

My BP hasn't eaten since January 25th, so now it's been 4 months - I haven't changed anything in her habitat. She is approximately 6 years old. She's only refused food maybe twice in the whole time I've had her, so this is Very out of the norm. She appears normal in all other senses; she's active when I take her out, she looks normal (mouth, eyes, skin.) I even tried the last 2 times when offering her food (I keep offering her food every 2-3 weeks), of putting the rat in her cage (I have always fed her live rats - I usually feed her in a separate container.) She just does nothing.

At what point/how long should I be concerned, and what action do I take? Take her to a veterinarian to gain a professional opinion?

Thank you for taking the time to read this and offer feedback, much appreciated!
