I had the same thing with a young Burmese male, years ago. In the end I starved him for a full two months, after which he accepted pre-killed.....I think he would have accepted macaroni cheese by that time! Not at all relevant, but his name was Ramjamfull Prajapatti!!

we have tried not feeding him for a few weeks several times and still no interest, i think its the person who we got him from fault, he started him on live for his first meals.

Have you tried rolling a dead mouse across the floor in front of him?

ScimitarX · 09-03-2007, 06:00 PM

yes, he doesnt even look at it, its even hard to get make him have by making him angry, he just moves away tongue flicking looking at other things, we know hes hungry though, he takes live instantly. We dont like to keep doing it but at this point at least its food, he hasnt grown much and is a bit on thin side so we just want to build him up a bit. We know other people who had burms of the same person and they all have similar problems.

well they are actually stubborn, I had one about a year or two ago, but couldn't get it to eat....it would drink, but wouldn't eat, so will
see how this one does, its drinking already so its looking good so far....

(the other one I had I let go when it wouldn't eat)

my vet told me that they will take blackworms, which most decent petshops carry
I never did see mine eat, but I had it for long enough with no apparent weight loss that I am certain it must have
the lump of worms in the water dish did seem to thin out as well, but I could never be sure that I wasn't just imagining things
good luck with yours, Justin
the one I had was a western variety, which are supposedly easier to feed
