Hasn't eaten in almost two weeks?

[Buck]

Buck isn't eating, and I'm not sure when it should become a concern. She has a few guppies in her tank constantly, and I've tried scenting pinkies as well.

How long has it been?
Refresh us on Buck's history, please.

Sorry, the title of the thread says the amount of time. Almost two weeks. She ate one small guppy when I first got her and that's it.

[guidofatherof5]

No need to apologize as that was my error.
Two weeks as a rule isn't a long time.
Have you only put the guppies in the water dish?
Have you tried container feeding?

My adult WC always, without fail, eats almost nothing in the fall months. He hasn't eaten since October 7th, and I doubt he'll eat for awhile. He just does that. I don't worry about it cuz if he really needs to eat, he will. He just kinda goes into this brumation mode I think.

My hognose is doing the same thing. Every fall/winter he quits eating. I try to offer every other week or so, just in case he changes his mind! My cat will eat any leftovers pinkies though, so no waste!

Thank-you. I have tried putting guppies on the floor of her cage and letting them flop around a bit, but she didn't show much interest. I'll try container feeding tonight. Any other bits of advice are welcome

Also, don't worry about at this point. If he needs to eat he will, for now I'd just keep offering it to him every few days, some different foods even. Hell eat eventually I would think

have you tried worms?

[Buck]

I just tried container feeding last night with guppies. Yes, I have tried worms, as well as pinkies. Hasn't eaten yet, but thank-you for the reassurance.
