So my male Piebald, who was recently weighed at 956g, seems to be starting a hunger strike. He ate a small F/T rat 4 weeks ago on 1/25, I offered two weeks ago per his normal schedule and he refused. Today I offered again and it would appear he is turning his nose at it. I'll leave it in his tub overnight and see if he eats it later. I've never had one go off feed before, I'm guessing it's customary to just wait another 2 weeks to his next scheduled feeding time and try again. The question I have is do you continue this pattern until they feed again even if it's many months later? Or do you try other tactics like offering a live rat at the next feeding interval or switching to mice?
What do others do?
