I have found patience to be the best way to handle things when they won't eat. And try to do things differently from time to time (e.g. leaving a frozen thawed in overnight, live, fresh killed, bumping their noses or tails or coil closest to the head, etc.). It is difficult, but remember that they can go quite some time without eating and be just fine. Don't worry unless it starts loosing weight drastically. As far as what brings on the fasting, good question. Switching cages seems to do it about every time here at my place, but who knows what all leads to it. Feel free to give specifics of what you have tried on here and people can give you more suggestions. Good luck, I know how annoying that is!
