Oops! Sorry, Laura, I forgot about replying to your post.
Yeah, I can't say with any certainty that your male likely has kidney damage like I had mentioned before. I've read reports of how severe, or long-term, dehydration can cause kidney damage in reptiles and I think back on the various Burmese Pythons I've had/have and how none of them were frequent urinaters (Is that a word? It is now. Ha!).
Out of curiousity, does your male drink a lot of water now that he's in the new cage? Seems like you said he drank a lot in his old cage and I was just wondering if since the new cage retained humidity better if he was still drinking a lot.
About picky eaters - my large female nudged a F/T rabbit around for a few hours the other night but would never take it. She'll eat a rat that's frozen solid if I'd let her but just won't take the plunge to rabbits, yet. I think if I'll scent the next with rats she go for it. We'll see.
Did you try heating the F/T rabbit with a hair dryer or something else? Took me 3 1/2 yrs but I finally got my picky male switched over to F/T rats. Talk about stubborn....
Take care!
Mike
