Hi all urgent help needed please!
I moved house approximately 2 months ago I waited about 2 weeks after the move to give my 6 year old Bredli python his next feed (1 week overdue) but after defrosting the rat I noticed it had blood around its nose, upon presenting it to my snake he took up his usual strike pose but then retreated after tasting the air I persisted for about 10 minutes twitching the rat regularly in the usual way he has taken food in the past but nothing I then left the rat in his feeding tub for about 30 to 40 minutes but he still ignored it. Since getting him I have only ever fed him rats so I thought 2 things 1) the stress of the move had affected his appetite and 2) he might want a change of meal. I the n tried him on 1 medium quail a few days later which he scoffed down but as a medium quail isn't his normal meal size I then planned on feeding him the other 2 medium quails from the same pack (a few days after he had completely digested the first quail). At which time I noticed he was getting ready to shed hence I waited for a few days after he had completed shedding and attempted to feed the 2 qauils which he turned his nose up, Tonight I attempted to feed him his usual size rat and he seemed interested but he simply inspected it and then ignered it despite constantly returning to a striking pose. The whole time he has still been active and showing no change in his behaviour. It has now been 4 weeks since his last feed of 1 medium quail (48g in weight.) Does anyone have any suggestions of what may be going on and how I might be able to get him to eat?
