Vince has refused his mouse (large mouse) for 3 weeks in a row now. temps are normal, he's usually a great feeder. I don't know why he's not any ideas?

Possibly due to it being breeding season but if you tell us about your set-up etc we can check for any other possible issues. Make sure you keep an eye on his weight tho as if it is down to breeding season then he shouldn't lose much weight.

A few people have commented the same recently and it seems to be due to it being breeding season. 3 weeks is not a long time to not eat as others have mentioned that theirs have not fed for months, so I would not worry yet.

Im with the others. Breeding season will more than likely be the cause. Snakes can last alot longer without eating. xx

My Rhubarbs now gone 12 weeks without eating but as long as he's still trashing his viv every night I know he's alright and he'll eat when he's ready. Easier said than done I know but try not to worry.
