There's absolutely ZERO pressure

Sometimes snakes simply won't eat , as I recall the record for snake fasting is over TWO YEARS , by a Royal / Ball python ...

[BonnieAndClyde]

Lol no pressure... Chill... Wooossaahhh...
Oh God... I'd be a wreck if clyde didn't eat for 2 years.. Haha clyde went nearly two months without eating and I'm sure I was turning grey in the hair...

He looks great after that shed.

Didn't read through the whole defrosting methods, but I just put my rats in a sandwich bag, and in a big mug 1/3 boiling water and 2/3 hot tap water. Takes about 20 minutes. I often leave it next to the vivarium, not that it helps. Then I'll put the rat on some tissue, and hairdry it next to the vivarium; keeps some water, but my adult male smells the food too.

Has he been offered/when is he being offered?

[BonnieAndClyde]

He looks so lush and fresh it's beautiful to see him like this, yah that's how I would normally do it but figured I would try a different method try find one he likes lol no not yet but his room stinks of the rat so hoping he can smell it, will be offering once put little one to bed and obviously had a pancake aswell 🙊 keep you posted on here

Ja, just make the rat do a zombie dance and I'm sure he'll bite on it.
