I'm almost scared to ask, but our Spotted hasn't fed for 4 weeks. He's still a babe (hatched 7/11/13), which is the only reason I'm asking.
He was on a fuzzy mouse once a week (and would have taken two if we'd let him). We went up a size to hopper mice as my MD hatchie is on those now too. He has rejected all the hoppers.
He's still in a small tub with aspen bedding, on a thermostat controlled heat mat, 32 deg at the hot end, about 25 at the cool.
I did have some heating issues, I couldn't get the right temps on the heat cord I was using, so they were dipping below 27.
My questions are:
Has the heat drop put him into brumation? Can I get him out if that's the case?
Should I try and feed him a pinkie to get his interest back? Are the hoppers too big?
I left him with the mouse all night to see if he'd take it. I offer him food once a week.
Thank you.
