My normal BP named "The Admiral" has not fed for going on 3.5 months now. I figured it was because of winter, but here's the deal:
- he is in a 32 quart rack and is around 2.5-3 years old and has been eating live small rats
- his temps have stayed a constant 82/93 with no drastic changes
- 1 hot and 1 cold hide, water bowl
- he has lost considerable weight and has become quite skinny
- I tried to feed today (1/19/08), he came out of the hide in strike position, checked out the rat, and returned to his hide
- I moved the rat closer to him and he made a very fast defensive strike, but there was no feeding response
- after 1.5 months off feed I offered a gerbil which he killed but did not eat
- He has acquired a temper and likes to hiss at me when I take him out to make sure he doesn't have any physical problems, and he had never done this prior to going off feed.

I have always fed live, but I have also tried f/t and pre-killed but to no avail. I'm nearly out of options and it's becoming a real pain to deal with, so if you have any other suggestions for me, please let me know.
