 hi all, thank you for all your kind advice. The boys fast is over, woohoo!!! Took his first mouse since before christmas. Got feisty with it, when he dropped it and i went in to waggle it in front of him. Quietly optimistic, that, that's the worry over. Weighed him last weekend. 620g same weight for two weeks on trot. Must of had the scales set wrong! Once again thank you for all your help and advice. Cheers mike :-) |

Definately seems a massive amount of weight loss. Montiiee has gone roughly the same amount of time without eating Dec 22nd and weight has dropped from 906g to 869g. |

Did he poo between weighings? |

that does seem like quite drastic weight loss, although no poo is to be expected if there's nothing going in 
has anything changed in that time? i'd personally try a smaller than usual food item making sure it's properly defrosted and super-heated, and get some Reptoboost for his water |

usually with males at this time of year the desire for a girlfriend puts them off food and is nothing to worry about. HOWEVER... that seems a significant weight loss, 25% of its body weight in less than 8 weeks... I am sure someone will be along soon Mike to try and get you sorted. |
