This could also apply to females as well for certain.

My male rainbow has not eaten in like 3 weeks, so he should be hungry. Refuses to eat. But alas I am feeding several different types of snakes so I have all kinds of stuff defrosted. What does he nail... a guinea pig. For various reasons unbeknownst to me our snakes probably are hungry but may be opting for something else. Could be my fault as well, cause when he don't eat I will offer just about anything to get him to do so. So he eats mice, rats, quail, chicks, and yes guinea pigs as well. He just doesn't seem to want any one of them for any period of time. But at least he eats, so all is well!!!

Thanks,

I opened my mouth and out flowed a melody black.

Interesting observation. I have a couple of my larger BRB's that no longer eat every week (when offered food every week), but they seem to eat 2 to 3 weeks in a row and then ship a week. I only have rats for them to eat, so they are offered a boring diet of one prey item. In the wild they would eat a wider variety of food and go longer without eating too. I always try to think of how to get a more natural diet for my snakes. I would need a second freezer to have all of the food you can offer....
