in the past couple of weeks vinnie has been acting strange normally he is a shy corn who you dont see much of but for the past couple of weeks when i feed him he starts to liven up a lot he wont eat and seems to be on the constant look out for something. ive been braining the mice and heating them up but he wont touch them ive even left the mouse in with him for a long period of time but still wont touch them. i do however feed both vinnie and leo together i know for a matter of fact that leo is a male who is 10 months old but the bloke who i brougt vinnie from a reptile shop just took a look at him n said he was male so the bloke must have great powers of detection but vinnie is now reaching the age of 22 months so im gonna ring a few vets asking if they can probe him/her for me to check any suggestions on wat might be going on
sorry for the oddles of writing im not getting to worried just yet but i will be soon

At 22 months if he is indeed a male than he may likely have only 1 thing on his mind- sex. It is the mating season, and loads of males decide to go on a fast and up the exercise routine ;)
Also, you said you feed them together- are you cohabiting them?

As long as he isn't losing too much weight then I wouldn't be too concerned. Double check the setup and temperatures and keep him eye on him. Don't panic about the non-eating, corns can go months without eating and remain perfectly fine.
