Hi everyone..I've received lots of valuable information on here over the past 2 years but have never personally posted until now. I have a borneo stp that is reaching 3 years old who has stopped eating since the end of January. I've had him since he was a baby and had him caged in a rack which he outgrew at the end of 2009. He always has had a very hardy apetite. At the beginning of this year I switched him from a rack to a cage measuring 3' X 2'. The temps in the cage are maintained in the mid 80s (82- 85). About 10 days of being acclimated in the cage I fed him his first meal in his new environment and he ate without any hesitation. This was around the 2nd week in January. Since then he shows only a slight casual interest in any food. The only thing I did notice was that beginning in February his behavior became rather odd whereby he became very active with constant movement in the cage and moving things around at all times of day and night. Someone mentioned that he might be going through his first breeding phase. I left him alone after a couple of failed feeding attempts in early February and now his behavior has returned to normal. He just shed the other day so I have attempted to feed him again, however, he only shows slight interestbut still will not eat. I am getting concerned now since he appears healthy from what I can see but I fear there may be something else going on here. Any ideas, suggestions would be much appreciated.
