Hunger strike!

Le Bud my Pacman used to eat about 6-10 night crawlers almost every other night. Sometimes he'd skip an extra night. He's been eating less and less, which I attributed to him maturing and not needing to eat as often since he's not growing as much. However. It's now been about 2 weeks, give or take, and he's only eaten 4 night crawlers, which was 8 days ago. He totally stopped eating crickets a few months back. I'm going to pick some up tomorrow and see if he'll eat them now. It had been a while since he had a BM. I was soaking him in warm baths and he finally passed it. His side still feels a little hard but is not bulging anymore. I'll still continue to do warm soaks now that I realized that. Any other thoughts??

Its the season and climate changes. He will eat less during the winter, but if they really need to defecate they wont eat.

This much less though? He hasn't eaten in 8 days

Sometimes they won't eat for 2 weeks. Has he been burrowing all the way a lot?

[Beep617]

Yep. He almost always burrows all the way down though

So its been about a month now since this guy has eaten. I dig him out every few days and try to feed him. I make him a soak and he'll usually sit for a while, shed, and burrow again. He's also been jumping into the sides of the tank alot and hopping around as if trying to get out. I plan to get more background for the sides, as I only have it on the back. Was able to force feed one night crawler last week. But that's it. Is this still normal?
