cali king has not eaten for a while now (I've tried everthing)

xdarkcerberusx Oct 17, 2004 01:52 PM

My cal has accepted 1 meal out of the past 8 I have offered him. I feed him every weekend. He is 3 and a half years old. The temperature seems to be steady and right. There is a warm side and a cool side.

I think it is way to early to be going into hibernation, because it has been going on for about 2 months. I've tried puting him in a seperate container with just the mouse. I have even offered a few live mice to hopefully spark his apitite. But I usually feed him freshly killed mice.

He doesn't seem like he is in bad shape. He still moves around, but not as much as my other cali king about the same age. I have a female housed above him, could that be it? I am starting to get worried. But I see no signs of sickness.

Any tips to get him to eat would be appreciated.
