a lot of male corns go off their food this time of year, they think that magical a female will slighter past and is they are digesting they would miss out on hanky panky. just continue to off every week or two weeks and he will eat when he is ready. weigh him on a weekly basis and theres only need to worry if there is a dramatic weight loss. x

okay thanks for the reply,i have two other corns which have been moved to a different room and there is a possibilty that one of them is female. he is still highly active,i didn't have him this time last year so was a bit unsure.
