My male butter used to be a great eater, but for the past 8 months or so, he's decided to get weird. He acts like he wants food... roaming, smelling the air, sticking his nose out the ventilation holes... then I get his rat all warmed up for him, and ~nope~ - he looks at it, then slithers away and tries to climb up the wall beside the tub I've been punk'd by him so many times by now... he'll sometimes take it if I put it on top of him when he's in his hide XD
