My 3-4 month old male just started eating again after nothing for 2 whole months. I've been assist-feeding the female mouse tails, and she still isn't interested.

>>Some things to try:

>>1.Turn the heat down. Try cooling the little guy off for awhile.

>>If you keep him at room temps or even a touch cooler, there's a chance that when you warm it up in 3 weeks or so, it will eat.

>>2.Thaw the mouse by simply leaving it out for a time. One of my snakes refuses to touch any food that has been warmed with water. Who knows why? Sometimes hogs are particular to nasty smelly beginning-to-decompose mice.

>>3.Try a live mouse.

>>Hognoses are strange. Sometimes, for no reason, they will stop feeding. Mine begins a self-imposed brumation usually in August, feeding again in around March. Sometimes in breeding season, another fast begins for a month or 2(even females). Its always unexpected.

>>Good luck.
