    Question Is this something to worry about?

    Hey everyone, just wondering if its normal, or ok that both my male and female bp seem to be going off feed. I feed once a week and they tend to pound down the rats within 10-15mins no problem. This week both bps seems to be more imterested in gettimg out of their tubs and could care less about eatting. I tried everything I know to get them to eat but still nothing. Any ideas? My temps and humidity are correct, so i'm wondering if since this last few days my area has started going into its winter weather pattern if my bps.scence it and this is causing them to not eat?

    It's normal for them to occasionally refuse, especially this time of year

    As Leah said, its fairly common. Its also not really a concern if they go on a pro longed food refusal. I have had some go as many as 9-11 months off
