Rick, is it sad that I think the rat is adorable? I guess that doesn't help you much.
Here's what you do. Take Reggie to the vet, get him a clean bill of health, buy a cage for the rat name him Squishy and then start feeding Reggie mice. That sounds good.
Let us know how it goes. I wish I could be more help, snakes are not my specialty. Now, if you have bunny problems go ahead and ask, but not if you're feeding those bunny's to Reggie.
First of all, Reggie is adorable. Is he human friendly?
Has there been any change in enviornment or temp? If everything is the same, I would just wait it out for a while. He looks healthy. I would take him in if he starts to look bad or is losing a lot of weight.
I took him to our local reptile expert - who assured me he's not sick...and he told me that his age of 3.5 years is in line with this sort of behavior - that sometimes they may go up to 6 months without eating.
...so he was in agreement that when reggie is hungry, he'll eat. I'll keep trying fresh food every 10 days or so
haha, the first time it happened, I just let the rat go back in the woods line... and ticked off a neighbor or two who did not like seeing the thing running around!
But that's pretty much what happened with me and my boyfriend anyway. (The snake is safe at his parents home).
Rats are great fun as pets.
On the snake side my boyfriends one is ancient (13 years) and he goes through phases of not eating, usually before shedding. We keep thinking he is goining to pop his clogs, but nope he keeps on going...
