So... 5 year old adult male with no prior problems has stopped eating for 7 months

Is this for real? :0 I actually legitimately can't tell whether you might be joking or not LOL, but I will try it if it works!!

It is, it's an old school keeper's trick, some breeders even take it further sometime by shipping the animal to a trusted friend. Something about movement and change of environment somehow triggers them into feeding and or breeding behaviour.

I have done it a few times with animals that stop feeding and for which every adjustment failed and within 3 to 5 days they resume feeding.
