He never likes to eat during the winter months. I chalk it up to him being in breeding mode. He is also a picky eater. I finally figured out something that works for him. I put him in a dark tuberware with the lid on (small air holes are the only light) with a warmed rat and don't check on him for about 3-4 hours. When I check the rat is gone. I never get to see him eat, but I don't mind. Better then his daughter who strikes at everything that moves when the smell of rat is in the air. Good luck to you. Also make sure your temps are good!

Tony.
