    Re: Is fasting normal?

    You are very welcome. It's not a true brumation, but it could be enough to jump start the appetite again. Wild caught are much more likely to do this sort of stuff. Our captive born (but not bred) little guy is much more of a piggie right now than the other 5 which are all WC. They eat, but it takes some sweet talking sometimes.

    Re: Is fasting normal?

    One of mine did the same thing, stoped eating for few weeks at the winter beginning. Mine eat mainly earthworms, but they love mice pinkie over everything else, but I don't give them those pretty often. So I cut a small piece of pinky, put it in the same bowl I used to hold the worms and present them worms who smell like pinkies, I did it for about a week (so roundly 2-3 feeding) then the one who had stop eating jump on his prey on the first try, and then he start eating again, it was more than 2 months ago, and he continue to eat well since. Good luck with yours.
