Change in weather, over feeding, breeding can all lead to fast some lasting longer then others.

You can if you wish try to downsize and see if your BP resume feeding, it may work but it may also not.

More often then not it is a question of patience and main tending and optimum husbandry.

Now what I notice in your post is that you make mention of your BP being very active, is it during the daytime?

I am also curious what prey size do you usually offer when he is eating? Also how often do you handle your BP.

Hi, thanks for replying. In answer to your questions. He is active at night starting around 10pm this can last for a short period or can go on for hours. Climbing and crashing around the vivarium, this does not happen every night but will almost always happen on the night we have offered food. Because of this we have tried leaving a rat in with him but he always leaves it. His activity is sporadic he will sometimes go for a 1-2 weeks staying in his hides and not moving around at night. At the point of when he was eating he would eat either an extra large weaner rat (70g-90g) or a small rat (110g-130g) he feeds on frozen thawed always has done. We have tried items of this size and also tried rat fluffs to see if this would entice him to eat. Would prefer to stick with rats and only switch prey if essential. His length is 3.5ft. He was being handled on a weekly basis but since fasting handling is being kept to essential cleaning only.
