ok heres the deal ...

Louie my male BP has been off feed for the winter, he stopped eating back in Oct. (just after i got him taking F/T), his temps are fine, i've checked his mouth (fine there) plenty of hides, no stress ect...

so at what point should i start to worry? or even offer him a little help with a meal (placing the nose of his food in his mouth to give him a taste) ?

i have been trying to offer him F/T (that i got him to eat before he went off) even offered him live, he acted scared of it and went right back to his hide.

he has lost weight its visible to me but i'm not sure as to how much as i didnt have any scales when he went off to weigh him.

i have kept to the rutine all winter long with them offering them food and having them refuse it.

my female has been eating again now for three weeks like she never went off so with her eating again and him not i am getting a bit worried.

i know its not out of the norm for BPs to refuse a meal, but seeings how this is the first winter i have had them to do it (second winter of having them), i gotta wonder how long this will last and at what point should i worry
