I must say, my new Burm Carl is doing fantastic (he is an Albino het Granite) and never misses a f/t meal. Dexter was rehomed to a friend in a neighboring state with extensive experience in Burms (which honestly was not what I wanted to do but instead what NEEDED to be done for the health of the animal...I sadly had no answers to his feeding problem any more) and he still stonewalls on feeding for months at a time from what I understand but is doing great overall and gets powerfed when he will take to keep weight on him in between. Glad to see he's doing alright man, your buffalo bill rat method pulled him through.
You know what I love the most about Burms?....bathroom habits. Seriously, everyone I know with retics seems to be cleaning piss every few days while Burms are more similar to a boa....taking dumps and leaving urates every few weeks or so and even less frequently at larger sizes. Low maintenance is fantastic in my book.
