Re: Took in a stubborn Pinstripe..
He is beautiful. If all else fails try a softfur I got a great deal on an enchi male from someone who could not get him to eat. He has taken a softfur every 5 days since I got him. Then he took a scented rat weanling!!! wohoo! Sometimes its the bedding, food, hides, temperature, ect.......... You never know. Good Luck!!

I picked him up from another member on this forum who had not been able to get him to eat since she purchased him back in August and was no longer able to keep him. She tried everything from hamsters to one week of Flagyl with no luck. He's lost 200-300g since August, a bit skinny but not as bad as my other two were when I brought them home. Hopefully I'll have as good of luck getting him to eat as I did with my other picky eaters.
He's happily situated in a quarantine tub and I'm giving him about 5 days before offering food.
So, since you all love pictures so much and since I am so smitten by him I thought I'd toss up a few I took before letting him get situated.
A big thank you to Kasey for allowing me to adopt him and also to Luke for referring me to her.
By the way, he's an '08 sitting at 722g.

Congrats! You know all the tricks so get that guy secure and eating 
Regards,
B

I'm sure there were quite a few people willing to pick him up, he's a gorgeous example of the morph. I drove over 2hrs one way to pick him up. It's true though, even if everything was perfect in one home, a simple change of place can do the trick. Strange, but possible!

That is the one thing she had not tried with him, ASFs, because she could not find a local breeder. So, if all else fails, I'll be trying that. Might have better luck finding a breeder in Nevada when I move next month, I've already found the rat/mouse breeder I will be purchasing from out there.

That I do! My normals constantly refused meals in their previous homes yet have never refused a single meal with me.. I hope to repeat this scenario a third time. 
Thank you everyone! I'll be sure to post an update on how he is doing in a couple months!

Me too! He's too cute to let whither away. I can't wait to offer him his first meal.
