Do you know the last time they ate? Typically, they have hardy appetites during growing season in early spring, and through late fall.

Depending on size, instead of pinky's, you might try small hoppers

My 14" c. atrox ate two hoppers couple wks. ago, after having two pinky's starring a rattler down. The person I purchased her from said she ate two hoppers a wk. and now in new surroundings, I was pleased.

Believe she's slowing down having a built-in time clock for hibernation, not seeing much of her lately. Occasionally, she'll come out for a drink, or to expel waste. It's been well over a week since she's ate, having a hopper in her cage for the last 3 days, not being interested. Another day or two, if she hasn't ate, I'll remove hopper, putting back a wk. later. Not alarmed as of yet, when they can go a couple months without eating during winter months.

Keep us informed
