my fire pied male stopped eating in January, since then ive tried rats, mice, chicks, gerbils and multi`s. so three weeks ago I started tube feeding him a chickens egg beat up with some nutrabal for the calcium once a week as he was losing a lot of weight, I even started pairing him with one of my pieds hoping it would kick his feeding response into gear. I have moved him several times into different parts of the room cleaning his rub and tube feeding him again, then this afternoon I offered him another live multi and he struck it and ate. so im wondering was it the tube feeding or breeding or moving him that motivated him to eat. so should I pull him from breeding or what as he needs some weight put back on
