My son bought his Dum about a year ago at a local reptile show. He was told it was about 2 years old and that it was eating small rats. He managed to get it to eat a mouse about a month later but it hasn't eaten since. He tried mice, rats, african soft furs (AFS), live and thawed nothing has worked. He bought it to my house as he gave up on it and was giving it to a friend however his friend must have changed his mind as he isn't returning his calls. I raise african soft furs (AFS) for my ball pythons so i put in a pup for a couple of days then take it out and feed it to my pythons before it dies and try again a few days later. I read that putting it in a tub helps get them to eat this is not working so far either. It seems to be drinking properly is quite active and has just finished its 6th shed since he got it about a year ago. We are really concerned it has gone at least 11 months without eating. Can anyone give me any other suggestions.
