my female het pied stopped eating for 6 weeks and has recently just started eating again so hopefully yours starts again soon. Just keep offering food every week and might be worth dropping a food size thats what i did to get mine eating again. As other people have said I wouldn't worry about it to much it is a royal after all Laughing

I checked on him earlier and the little begger has shed, so it might be that he will eat this week, he was showing more interest on Monday night than he had previously, and it's funny you should mention dropping a food size as we've bought some rat pups to try and get him going again in case he's just being a big girls blouse about eating a weaner Laughing

thats very interesting as my girl was eating rat weaners before she stopped i eventually got her to start eating again by offering a medium sized mouse which i have now moved her back up to large mice and hopefully in a couple of feeds get her back onto rat pups then weaners. My girl seemed interested in the food at first but then just sit on it.

Yep, that sounds very familiar, in fact I've seen piper curl around his rat weaners and cuddle them like they were a teddy bear Laughing
