    Help-CA King Won't Eat

    He hasn't eaten since the 15th of last month. I usually just leave f/t rat in his tub and by the next day it's gone but that hasn't been happening lately. I just tried heating it up with a blow dryer, and nothing. Plus, he just shed so he should be extra hungry. I want to try every method there is, because I don't want to have to force feed him.

    Could it be that summer is ending soon and he is starting to go off feed for fall and winter?

    How large is he? Husbandry? Have you tried live? How about the "zombie dance"?

    If he was in good shape, a month or so won't hurt him any.
    I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

    Just offer him a rat once every 10-14 days till he eats. More you offer more hell push food away and not eat.

    I agree with Rick. He'll come back around to eating. Just let him do his thing and please keep us updated.
