As some of you know i bought a Pastel Male nearly 5 weeks ago and he hasn`t eaten once. Which to a newbie owner doesn`t fill me with to much confidence.
I left him for 2 weeks then tried him on a rat which he left to fester away in his warm end. Then for the last 2 weeks hes had absolutely no interest in anything, not even looking out from his hides in the night time.
Well i thought i`d take a little look tonight as i was changing his water and hes shed his skin. Because he`s been in his own quiet room and i`ve left him alone i didnt even realise, so im thinking that this could be why he`s had no interest in his food. So i`ll be trying to feed him again tomorrow, hopefully he`ll be up for it. |

i breed them, but only just got babies, Cat knows people down there that does...
or you could breed your own, but takes a while to get them to size..
OR
you could get some smelly multi bedding and defrost a rat in it... |

Was a Multi. He is a very mild mannered chap, very very timid. I put the multi in using the tongs and as usual there seemed to be absolutely no interest no tongue flickering and then bang. The Multi was warmed up in a freezer bag in warm water for about 15 mins.
Fortunately i had the camera close by.

Im getting 5 of them free off the bloke i bought him from, he said he`ll eat them no problem, however i need to be careful as he could quickly get addicted to them.
Apparently he hardly ever handled him so i suppose the move, being put into a new home plus the added affect of going into shed could all be a reason why he`s had little to no interest in feeding. |
