One of my girls has just started feeding again after about 16weeks of not eating. i just kept trying everyweek. she had been eating weaners but has started back on fluffs. she took her first feed after i switched from heating food by hair dyer to placing in bag in hot water.

good luck. as said above hopefully now with the change of season she will come round to feeding. i have a mate who had a spider royal fast for 10months last year. it only started to loss weight towards the end of that period.

22weeks? that's rather extreme........nearly half a year!

how often are you trying to feed him and with what?
was he previously a good feeder?

22 weeks is a good long time, I have 4 that haven't eaten since December, but one has just eaten this week, I think you'll find with the days getting longer and temps generally increasin he'll start soon of his own accord. Has he lost much weight?
