Hi,
my male eastern small blotched has not eaten for about a month. He has done this to me before but was able to fix that with scenting the mice with rat (breeder had him on rats and when I got him my rats hadn't started breeding yet and he took unscented mice for a couple of weeks), the other time he went off the rats I had to scent his food with skinks for a while until he went back to unscented food. Now he is refusing, defrosted unscented rats and mice, scented rats and mice and live fuzzy mice. His last 2 feeds were live fuzzy rats, as he was on a hunger strike for a couple of weeks, and they really would not have filled him up that much. Have no idea why he is doing this or how to get him to start feeding again. Any help would be much appreciated.
thanx
