Congrats to you and to him. I went through the same thing with my pastel pied 1.0 recently. He weighed 900gms prior to breeding two of my 1400gm females and he lost about 100gms over a two month period. Of course he went off feed as well and had me worried! I took him out of the rotation and he continued to refuse over about a 1 to 1.5 month period. I offered him mainly live mice to get him started but he continued to refuse. He refused f/t as well, both mice and rats. I even tried f/t chicks as a alternative but no go! I then found some info on problem feeders and followed the steps outlined there and was successful in getting my male back on feed. If you want to check out the treatment you can visit his webpage. Its www.darkmanreptiles.com and its on the first page. Good luck and stay in peace not pieces. A.C.Originally Posted by jplehmann
Thanks Deborah, I tried moving him from his 28q to 15q last night, and I left him a weaned size rat overnight -- and he ate it! That's the first time I've gotten him to eat since I got him about 5 wks ago.
