: I fully agree with what Dean said. Mine have already finished with being sporadic feeders and are back to eating full time. Try turning on the lights in the room or cage to 10-11 hours and see what happens.

: : Dean,

: : I live in Southern Ohio where it is still pretty cold and I’m not having that problem at all. Mine are eating like it’s mid summer. I think it must be light cycles. When mine are in breeding mode, I reduce the light in the cages (fluorescent lights) to about 8 hours a day, and they feed sporadically like yours seem to be doing
: : now.

: : After breeding is over, I increase the light an hour a week. Now, they are on the spring/ summer 14 hour of light, 10 hours of dark, and they (at least the males) are eating like CRAZY. The females are ready to lay so they are not feeding. I still have one baby from this past summer and he is SLAMMING rat fuzzies every 4 days.

: : Try puttin some light on ‘em.
