The only thing the breeder told me was that he feeding them f/t so I'm not sure when he was last fed or how often he was fed.


When I first got him I noticed straight away that he was underweight. I contacted the owner and they denied that he was underweight. I tried contacting them again with more questions, but they never responded after that.


I didn't notice any weird sounds coming from him or saliva
However, I did notice that he yawned a couple of times the first day I got him. I didn't think much of it at the time but I did keep a close eye on him. The first whole week I had him made sure I did not bother him.
After that week I tried offering him food twice a week but had no luck.


He wasn't eating and he was frequently yawning. I got scared.
I wasn't sure if maybe he had a RI? so that's when I decided to take him to the vet


They gave him a physical check-up and told me "he seems fine, no blockage or anything. He's just a little underweight. If he doesn't eat the next week you should fed him live."


He has not gone to the bathroom for me, that I know of? I'm scared to move anything around in his tank atm, but when I check on the temps I'll be sure to look around his tank for any unusual stools.




When I feed him, I brain it and I hold the fuzzy by its hips so the head is facing in his direction. I know eating is a stressful process for them so I try and make it so if he does grab it, it's by the head first.


I first got him to eat it took about 15mins. He never struck at it?
I got his attention when I brained the mouse
He stared it down, I was thinking he was going to strike at it but he didn't
He sat with his mouth open for a good 6 seconds not doing anything
so I just decided to place it in his mouth and from there he started to slowly eat it
That's how I got him to eat the first two times, after that I had no luck



Thank you so much! I really do appreciate
I'm gonna take your advice and get a good heat signature when I'm feeding him the prey and recheck his habitat to see if I can fix anything that might be a problem? Cause I really want him to eat


and congrats on your clutch!
