Hey!
Thanks for the input about the muscle.
Sounds like my male burm is like yours. The M/F pair I've got will be 3yrs old in September. Last year was the first time my male stopped feeding. He went from Sept. - April, refusing food every two weeks. The female kept feeding till she ovulated.
Since I was keeping them together I assumed it was due to breeding season & not temps, but temps could've been a factor, too. He's a finicky eater. Takes him awhile to get into feeding mode once a rodent's placed in his cage. F/T? Forget about it! I've tried everything in the world and have only been able to trick him 3, maybe 4 times. The female would eat a rat that was frozen solid if I'd let her. Because of his finicky eating habits he's also on the lean side. I have to watch her weight.
Catch ya later!
