6-9 month burm troubles with feeding

hi all was just curious if anyone had some advice, third week now my burms struck his food but wont eat it, he did shed last week but usually eats like a horse following this, anything anyone can recommend would be apreciated.
he also seems quite small compared to what i have been told his size should be. he is just over 2 and a half foot long and doesnt look underweight, he is still putting it on, just seems to be a pain to feed.

thankyou greg

2.5 ft. for a 6-9 month old burm is pretty small. He should be more along the lines of 4-5 ft. at least at that age. With what and how often are you feeding him?

As far as the not feeding goes, don't sweat it too much unless he's beginning to look unhealthy. He'll come around when he's hungry. Check your vivarium and make sure everything's in the green, try giving him some hides.

hi sorry for late reply he has started feeding again as the weather picked up think it was to cold for his comfort, his viv has lots of hides and such he has suddenly got quite active now and a lil bit snapp lol, cheers for the reply, measured him properly today 3 and a quarter feet.

thanks greg
