Yea, I went as far as going back to the previous owner and getting one of the exact thing he was feeding it (he runs a rat operation too and fed him rats). So, I went got one of his rats live and frozen and he still will not take it. After that I didn't offer it to him for a while. Then I tried again, and still the same results. A friend of mine suggested that I implement an electrolyte supplement. He has a Burmese rescue that went off feed. Said that he administered electrolytes by thawing the prey in a solution of it with water and now he can't get the burmese to stop eating. Eats everything, anytime. So, I have began small doses of electrolytes, but I don't think that hydration is the problem. It is very frustrating and it makes you feel like your still a beginner fumbling around with gauges and scratching your head. I feel for the poor guy though. I feel like I am stressing him out and I don't know how or why because I am doing everything right. I have tried so many things and I think its just going to have to be put up to fate. If he doesn't eat after the 6 month mark, we're going to take a trip to the vet and see whats up. Thanks and keep the advice coming!
