Sorry to hear that! Yup, I can beat that! Kashmire fasted for 4 1/2 months before starting to feed again on February 4th. Although it was frustrating for me, it didn't bother him at all. He maintained good weight and muscle tone.


I did stop handling him during that time, except for weekly weighing and routine cage maintenance (if I needed to move him out of my way to another part of his enclosure) and I filled his enclosure with loosely balled newspaper and just offered once a week. One week he just decided it was time to eat again!

Hang in there!
