Winter meal for Slim
Well its been around 2 months or a little less since Slim last ate and i was starting to get a little worried. He's been on F/T rats for a while now and was chowing them down on a weekly basis before he began his fasting a few months ago. He refused as usual this past meal and i was trying to figure out a way to get him to eat. I took him out of his tank and held him in my hand, next i took the rat in my other hand and slowly started bringing it towards him. Right as the rat began to touch his mouth he opened up and then coiled around it. I placed him back in his tank and let him do the rest. Would that be considered assist feeding?? or was it his instinct to eat it. I know its the winter time now here in Connecticut and he'll probably go on fasting for the rest of the winter but atleast now he has a meal inside him. Do most Bp's fast over the winter or are their some that just keep on eating. Ill wait another two weeks and see if he's hungary again or back to being stubborn. Any suggestions??????
