I have a 10 month old Bredli, who over 10 weeks ago decided to cease eating. I have been having to assist feed him ever since. I have tried everything to try get him to feed him on his own again to no avail! I can assist feed him 1-2 rat pinkie heads with minimal difficutly (will only eat the head.... if there is a body attached to the head it just gets regurgitated!) Every few weeks I'm having to force feed him, followed by oral vitamin suppliments just to ensure he is getting enough vitamins. I have also turned to mutton bird oil just to maintain some weight.
Has anyone else been in the same situation as this?
Is there any advice possible?
(cos as you can imagine this is just pure frustration! Not to mention how stressed my poor little dude is getting being forced to eat!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :p
 
If the snake was eating well and then stopped, there is clearly something wrong. Regurgitation is a bad sign; take it to the vet asap. Also, i would lay off the mutton bird oil and there is no need to force feed it, presuming it was feeding well prior, as this will just cause more stress.

Nobody can offer you any better advice than to take it to the vet.
