    Question not eating...

    Ok, so I moved my too males to tubs temporarliy until my rack system comes this week. One of them has still been eating and the other hasnt had a decent meal for a month. He was eating small rats. Both temps and humidity are fine. The one not feeding is 6 months old. his last rat was on the 20th of last month and he had a fat little mouse about two weeks ago...

    could it be stress? he does seem to wander a little.

    He just might be stressed from moving into tubs. Once you get your rack set up and get him settled he should start eating normally. If he had a meal 2 weeks ago, he should be fine. I had problem feeders that would skip 2-3 meals at a time then eat a small meal, then skip another 2-3 weeks. I would just keep an eye on his weight and keep offering once a week.
