Sid has stopped eating and i'm guessing its because of the time of year. I normally offer food every 2 weeks. Should I still offer something every 2 weeks incase he feels like eating? Or can I leave it longer between offering. It seems such a waist if he refuses all the time.

He last ate 2 weeks ago and refused today. His behaviour of pushing the rat about and getting underneath the rat is what he did back in march, he didn't eat for nearly 3 months then. I was just wondering if I should still offer him food every 2 weeks or if would be ok to stretch it to every 3 weeks that I offer something until he starts eating again. He is well built weighing in at 793g and 5 1/2ft long.

so he's only refused one meal, would offer next time as only missing one meal doesnt mean he is off his food.
