Well Cereus(Butter) usually eats a large mouse every week but had been off his food for a good 3 weeks to a month apparently, Sakana(Hypo) again usually eats a large mouse every week but has refused any food(Small mouse, large mouse, rat weiner, chick...) for 12 weeks straight.

Ahh you see I asked how often my uncle was feeding Sakana(got her in Feb) and he said TWO large mice every week! Which is why I've cut her down to at least only having 1. Cereus I've been told was eating either 1 large mouse or 2 small mice every week.

I would cut them down but if Sakana get's hungry she gets ratty(no pun intended) with you, not sure about Cereus.

Sakana last weighed in at 900 grams which I was told was a little on the large side but if she get down to about 600-700 she'd be good and she has lost a bit of weight whilst not eating so will weight them both again when Cereus has digested his meal.

I'll try her with it but like I say, she has plain straight refused food to the point of pushing off her feeding rock and curling as far away from it as possible for 12 weeks so she must have lost some weight and her stomach is starting to sink in underneath... I am getting quite worried about her now even though I've had her checked and they said nothing is wrong with.

Hmm... Well after lifting her out of the viv to handle her this morning she felt slightly lighter but not much lighter... Maybe 899 Grams now lol.

Yeah mine are handled at least once a day if they haven't eaten within the last 2-3 days which is why I didn't get Cereus out.

See that's another thing, Sakana is just so affectionate she can't not be handled... She paces the viv if she isn't brought out once a day.

That's how I know midnight wants some loving, trying to escape and pacing are all signs of sexy time :) they do not mind being handle, but they do not enjoy it if it makes sense they just put up with it x

I put him in with her and she started shedding which I was told meant she was ready for breeding as she was shedding to release the pheromones. Yes he's defo male, had him probed and it went in 10 scales, twice.
