I know that balls frequently go off feed during the breeding season but does this happen frequently with juveniles? I have an '03 male that I received just after Thanksgiving. He has fed 3 times on f/t rat fuzzies. He last fed on 14 Dec. I know that it has not been long but I have offered food 3 times since then, leaving the f/t fuzzie rat with him overnight (which is how he has fed in the past) and it remained uneaten when I checked in the morning. I'm not panicking as he has excellent weight but just wanted to see if others have experienced this.
Thanks,
Pete

Yes I have a few that are rejecting about every other feed.
Just something they do once in a while!

...offer a live dark-colored hopper MOUSE in subdued light in the evening. This almost always works if the snake has voluntarily eaten at least once before (as in this case). I bet it eats! SJM
