Head bobbing, not eating

vampchick00 Apr 16, 2008 03:56 PM

Hi
Lately my male is more interested in head bobbing at my female than eating. He even does it when she isn't anywhere near him. Hes getting kinda skinny, any advice on how to get him to eat again, or will this behavoir just slow down on its own?

Any advice would be great!

He is more interested in mating with the female he can see and smell. Best thing to do, move his cage at least out of sight of the female, or block his view of her with something. Or move him to another room for a few weeks till he's back up to weight.
