Just stop eating

bigtman Sep 05, 2011 11:15 PM

Yes my hypo hondo just stop eating it's been a month now since she ate her last meal. I checked out her cage, everything looks good to me. She has a hide on the hot side a hide on the cool end and a humid hide in the middle. Also a nice size water bowl. I use bottle water for them since Vegas water has all kinds of additives in it. what she was on was 2 fuzzie rats. she would take them no problem. And now she won't even take a brained fuzzie mouse. She still has good weight on her. Still tries to bite me when I pick her up.LOL She is just being a pain in the butt.
Thanks for any help.

If it's a 2011, then I'm not surprised. It's not uncommon for hatchling Hondurans to start off eating well and then quit for 4-6 weeks. I've seen this happen several times. Here in Ohio, we just had a big temerature drop (feels like Fall). I'm not sure if that causes them to go off feed, but chances are the snake will start back up in a week or two.
