    Re: 14 months since this guy ate....

    Good ideas all....

    Tim has some ASF's across the lake. Maybe I'll see if I can get one from him.

    I tried to assist feed him a mouse a couple of weeks ago... he freaked out a LOT and stressed ME out so I gave up!

    Yup, I think we cross posted! Tim Bailey lives about an hour from me. I know he raises them, it's just a matter of whether or not he has any available to sell me. He will probably be at the LA Reptile expo today in my area... gonna pass by there and see what's up.

    Well, Tim didn't have any ASFs but he did have a lot of sweet balls! There was a vendor there selling live ASFs though. so I picked up a pair plus an extra. The extra is in with the snake right now. The snake is sorta checking him out, but so far doesn't look interested in eating. I'll check again in a little while and if he hasn't eaten him I'll take him out.

    As a foot note I was talking to Tim about the snake and he told me not to worry. He has some males that only eat a couple times a year and stay in the 600g range. He was like " Maybe that snake is just going to stay small."

    Re: 14 months since this guy ate....

    I had a pastel I got back in may. He ate one time, then absolutely refused to eat. We went on like that for several months and then she started to look flat and his weight started to drop. I dewormed him. Still no food. Of course all through this I was watching him very closely. I took him to the vet about 3 weeks ago. No stool spec, even with rinse . She gave him a broad spectrum and flagyl. It was the magic bullet for sure. He's eating like a champ and I am thrilled!

    Broad spectrum antibiotic? How were these meds administered, orally? Also, did they do just one dose or did you go back for a second one.

    Re: 14 months since this guy ate....

    So after about 45 minutes I went and looked...



    Doesn't look interested. Put the rat in the cage with the other ones. Now I wish I specified 2 females. If they start to fight I'll have to feed him off to one of my other balls I guess.
