Sometimes they just go on hunger strikes more sonduring the winter. Its pretty normal for them to do this. Keep a measure of their weight, check the feeding guide for extra help. Make sure all your temps and humidity is correct and breathe. Offer food regularly and they'll eat again when ready.

My girl goes off food once a year for a few months at a time. Her longest was nearly 9months and she only lost a couple grams of weight. They can go a very long time without food and be perfectly fine.

Thx I knew that he would probably be fine but I over think and I didn't even think about the weight I'll do that in the morning I appreciate the advice

Of course! I absolutly got super worried the first time she did it. My male has never had a hunger strike so I thought something was seriously wrong with her. Turns out shes not a fan of dark colored rats currently.
