    Re: STILL not eating, when should I be concerned?

    100g for a full grown BP isn't really too much. Now if you had a 300g BP and it lost 100g, then you should worry. I have had my girls poo up to 70 grams (and they are both still under 500grams) so keep that in mind . If she starts looking skinny, dehydrated, or you can see her spine. Then take her to the vet.


    @pandora: I would try offering food more often now that spring is approaching. Other then that, I wouldn't worry too much. He will eat when he is hungry
