I am with you on that its how they are kept -in most cases, but what I don't get is:
1) What would cause a sexually mature male to go off feed at 87 Fahrenheit, and only bu-annually when I have no females around? I don't think it has anything to do with temperature or wouldn't that be an annual occurrence?
2) I give him fuzzies and he ignores them, I give him pinkies and he devours them, and he is of plenty enough size for the pinkies? If it would be an issue concerning his health I really would like to know. For the five years I have had him I haven't seen anything to indicate bad health or suffering, he is just picky about prey size.
