Okay, I've got a similar situation going on with my two females that are a little over a year old, but it's a bit more protracted than this. My two girls stopped eating back around the end of October. They were 1200 grams and 1050 grams a piece back then, now they're both down to about 950 grams a piece. One female ate a small rat three weeks ago, but other than that, neither has eaten since October 24th.



In reading literature on BP's, I found that females will often do this during the winter months as a part of the breeding cycle, so when I saw that they'd stopped accepting prey items totally, I dropped the temps and let them do their thing. Well, it's getting into spring now, and I've brought the temps back up and the photo period and they're still not eating. Kinda curious whether I should start getting worried yet?
