I have a 10 month old ball python who only weighs 203 grams.. his spine is slightly triangulated and his skin is a bit stretchy, i know he's underweight for his age, but he refuses to eat rats.
He should be on small/medium rats but only eats adult mice. I've tried everything besides making a "mouse coat" for a rat.
Other than being underweight, he shows no signs of being unhealthy. He's active, sheds great, humidity and heat is always at a constant 65-70% and 75F on his cool side(where he normally is, warm side is 85F), and I don't believe he has a tumor or infection of any kind.
I'm terrified of what'll happen if his eating pattern (or lack thereof) continues.
Any advice for me and my Oliver?
Thanks.
