I know BP's can be very picky and finicky eaters. I've read where they can go upto 6 months without eating. But I am not sure If i should be worried or not with my situation.

My BP was eating like a champ from July until right before xmas. After that he has not and will not take anything I offer to him. I've tried FT, Fresh Thumped, and even live. I have tried both small and medium size rats, different colored rats. Even tried mice. When i first lower it in He'll go at it like he is interested get right face to face with it and then just turn his head up and turn away. I have tried feeding him in his normal cage and also tried in a separate tub.

His tank is a 39 gallon high, with aspen bedding. hot side is going between 89 and 91, and cool side at 79-80. humidity is usually around 55% but I'll increase it when he starts showing signs of shedding. Which he just did shed on the 25th of March.

One of the girls at a local store that raise BP's and Bloods said that her BP will go on a feeding strike every year from oct until april when the winter months hit us. So Should I just keep trying or begin worrying? could it be a parasite or mite causing this feeding strike? He's active and moves around alot and he barely flinches or coils into a ball when trying to pick him up, never hisses or tries to strike.

but I'm just getting concerned. The only real change I did to his tank back in oct or nov was switched his bedding from cypress mulch to aspen.
