I figured he was stressed, so I tried again the next week....this time he just smelt it and didn't do anything. I left it in there for a good 20-25 min (supervised of course).
I then tried just this past week another rat and still nothing. What happened to him? The rats have not harmed in any way, so I'm confused. I've tried covering the tank, leaving the room, basically all the things I used to do when he was shy and still nothing. I'm confused...any ideas on what could be causing this?
Thanks!
BP do go off feed and it can be for various reasons such as overfeeding, breeding, husbandry, illness, stress, etc.

So if your BP go off feed what should you do?

First know that, as long as your BP does not loose too much weight he will be fine, second try to proceed by elimination to find out if there is anything that can be done so your BP resume feeding.

Here are couple of questions

How big is your BP?
How big is his enclosure?
What are your temps and how do you measure them (type of thermometer)?
What is your humidity?
Can you describe his hides? (Picture of the setup would be great)

What size prey and how often do you feed him when eating?
