Hey all, :)

I haven't been on here in a couple of weeks because my internet bill got a little out of hand. aha! I'm back though!

ANYWAYS! While the internet was off I of course had to run into my first feeding problem.. Sirius was due for a shed so he hadn't eaten for a little under two weeks. Which is normal, He finally had his shed on March,19th and it was a really bad shed, the worst he's had yet, but that's because he didn't want to use his moist hide this month for some reason. Anyways, after I put him in a bin with a moist towel it all came off and he was fine, I then put him into his feeding bin as I usually do and went and got him a fuzzy. I offered it to him and he ignored it...

It made no sense to me, as he always eats after his shed without any issues.
But not this time. I decided to give him a week and tried 2 pinky's he ate them right up! :D I was sooo happy! as it was getting to be almost 3 weeks since his last feeding and his still young to me.. :eek: But I watched his weight and he didn't lose anything the whole time, and was drinking regularly so I tried not to worry.

But today! I just feel like a weight has lifted off of my shoulders, I'm sorry to go on about this but I was really starting to worry myself!

I happy it ended on a good note! :)
 
Glad he ate! I can understand that weight. I tend to get a little worried for Plissken when he refuses, so I'm usually jumping up and down and telling everyone in the house HE ATE! when he finally does.
 
yeah my boy wasn't active or anything he just slept under his bark, and wouldn't eat.. I was starting to get a little worried so I was so happy when he ate the pinkies.

And on this past sat, He ate his very first Hopper! I was soo proud of him! :)
I'm just happy he's doing better!

Thanks for the responses guys!
