Sounds like he is "interested" in something besides food.


>>I have a just-turned-4 male BP who has refused to eat for about 5 weeks now. I know they often stop for no reason in the middle of winter, but I've had him almot the full 4 years and he has ALWAYS been a steady eater (eats every week, no problems, except when about to shed).
>>
>>He has a nice warm Vision cage with a radiant heat panel & good humidity. He's in good condition, but since he's never stopped before, I'm getting worried. He always looks interested, and licks all around it, but then just wanders off.
>>
>>When should I really start to worry? I've been trying him every 2-3 days now, and am alternating mice & rats in case he decided he doesn't like either. I try the wiggle, and I make sure they're warm. He's never had live, so I don't really want to try that. Anything else I should try?

>>Thanks!!
