it's possible that this could be normal off-feed behavior some BPs exhibit. If so, as long as it's not losing weight (you must actually weigh not eye it) then you should be fine.



However, the possiblity that your BP is stressed due to incorrect housing should not be ignored. I think if you can rule that out then it's probably safe to assume it's normal off-feed behavior. I worry (especially with new owners & I'm not sure if you are new to bp ownership) immediately jump to the conclusion that it's normal off-feed behavior and ignore the other possibility and possibly creating big problems later (and vet bills). If there are problems with your setup that can lead to stress, illness and going off-feed. If your willing, more information would be needed regarding your housing and parameters to help rule that out.



Info such as:

age of bp

cage size

# hides & where

temps on warm and cool side

where and with what are you measuring temps

how long have you had

what was it eating and how long ago since last meal

what are you trying to feed now

how are sheds

weight history

how is heat provided

(pics of setup would help)
