I got my first ball two weeks ago today since then i have tried to feed him twice with no luck. I know this can occur in balls and i have not held him apart from in the first week twice for about 30 mins he didnt seem stressed and just curled around my fore arm and stayed there after a bit of a mooch around with his tongue flicking.

The guy at the shop told me he was a year old but having read threads on this forum i weighed him out of intrest and to start logging his weight i was supprised to find that he only wieghed 100 gms! Am i right in thinking that he is probably a hatchling and may not have even eaten his first meal.

The guy in the shop also said that he had eaten a F/T the sat before i got him but now im not sure to believe a word he said.

My temps are 94 hot 84 cold controlled by two stats one for ambient ceramic heater set to 84 and another stat set to 94 for the UTH humidity 50% 3' wooden viv that he came with from the shop. from what i have read here could this be to big? it seems that the reptile shops in my area tell you the first thing that comes in to there minds so this is a bit of a minefield.

so my main question is how long should he go without food for before i need to get worried and seek a vets help?
