so hero has refused his last 3 feeds, i have triple checked his rub and temps, and everything is stable and unchanged from before, his rub is 0.8 degrees warmer but thats after the second refused feed. i have brianed, stabbed squeezed, warmed, tuna scented, marmite dipped, soggy dry, and left in the rub. not all at once, i went through a few pinkies in the process, i have also tried a big pinky and a small one. nothing, not even a slither of interest! |

He's always fed in a seperate tub with me, I have covered him, left him, left it in his viv. I'm going to try sardine scenting tonight. If that doesn't work I'm going to leave him 7 days (I will weigh him mid week) and try scenting with a rat fluff. |

Have you tried moving him to a smaller container for feeding, and perhaps covering it up for a while? My hoggy sometimes prefers a smaller, darker space when he's eating. Having said that, none of the usual tricks generally work on him, he either eats or he doesn't. Not much help to you, I know, but the main thing is to keep trying! |

i have tried him every 5 days, the last feed he ate was 2 pinkies on the 23rd of march, so just over 3 weeks. he has stayed at 10grams, but today when i weighed him the scales started flickering between 9 and 10 :( |

How long has it actually been since he last ate? And how often have you been trying him with food? I wouldn't think you have anything to worry about at the moment - they can quite happily manage without food for a couple of months or more. Have you been monitoring his weight and, if so, has it changed at all? |
