HELP! My leusistic tx rat wont eat!! more---!

Posted by james on July 24, 2000 at 13:07:22:

He was born in 12-99, i bought him a month or so ago, and he has shed twice and usualy eats alot...now he refuses food!
I would dangle a warm fuzzy and he would strike and constrict and eat it, now he shows no interest in the food! he bites it but in a defence only because im dangling it in his face...last time he ate was the 10 th of july! He just finished a shed, and that would explain why he would not eat, but now hes done shedding and still will not eat! He is in a 10 gallon tank, the warm side has a ZOOMED sticker type heater under in, then in the tank there is a mousepad over the heater so the snake wont get burned...its at about 88-90 temperature wise...the waterbowl is big enough for him to soak in and i dont mist the cage...he has a hide on the warm side of the cage as well as one on the cool side...what could be the problem??? any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...thanx!
