Carpet Problem

blue2004srt4 Nov 10, 2006 02:13 AM

I have had a new baby carpet for about 2 months. and my problem is that it is refusing to eat. It ate two weeks in a row right when i got it and that is it. hasn't ate for about a month. Any suggestions?

One month isn't much of a concern usually (unless they are also showing signs of RI or something else). Does he/she seem healthy overall otherwise? If so, I wouldn't sweat it too much. As far as getting him/her back eating, there are a myrriad of tricks you can try, but keep in mind that this is the winter time, so he/she just might go off and stay off feed for 2-4 months no matter what you do. For me, if they aren'y breeders yet and they still look healthy I usually still offer every week or every other week and eventually they will feed again. If you have any more specific questions, let us know! And good luck with him/her!!!
