of deterioration of health in regards to lack of eating? obviously weight loss for one. but my bp hasn't really resumed normal feeding since winter. he maybe is eating once a month. he is about 5 yrs old. i don't brumate him but he fasts on his own. the last time he ate was about a month ago. he is less plump but hasn't lost any significant weight. anyway, my concern is that i'm holding him right now and he seems less efficient in his climbing me. like falling off and a very very weak grip. don't know if i'm being paranoid but just wondering if anyone else has experienced that.
