Have you been offering every week for the last 5 weeks? What I found is giving them a week or even two sometimes gets there bodyclock back to normal. I must say, I'v never come across a Mexican Black who has refused a feed, Regardless if breeding, brumation! Im sure he'll get back into things Lee.

Tehya was on day 18 of no feeding when I tried her with a pinky and she wasn't interested, she is in shed though. Wish she'd hurry up and shed I've not actually witnessed her feeding as yet heheh. Though the shop did say that she started off as a problem feeder when they watched her, but if they put her back in the rack and left her to it she'd feed fine, so she's a solitary bugger off I don't want you watching me feeder then I guess lol I've left pinkys in overnight to give her privacy. This last feed I even found her sleeping cuddled up next to her food! rofl

Both my Mexis are on a mission to eat as much as possible. Are you sure the temps haven't dropped without you knowing? Nagini always goes off food in the winter and with the nights drawing in...

Snoop is as food orientated as ever, I put my hand in to clean his water and I swear he was going to bite me. It was a proper wake up call, reminded me to stay focused all the time.

My idiot grey band adult was offered his dinner last night, as usual,struck at but completely missed the mouse, this time attacked the vegetation (plastic)before he realised the mouse was still dangling from the tongs. Beginning to think he needs glasses!

Simon's Python struck at the cage surrounding his heat lamp instead of getting his rat during last feed, he well and truly got stuck on it, it was a while before he loosened himself, then eventually about an hour or so later (Simon tried him straight after but he wasn't interested) he finally went for the rat, after Si touched his nose with it rofl
