Off feed?
I remember reading something, somewhere, that these picky little sobs can and will stop eating during the winter sometimes. Obviously, as always, the temps and such are spot on so its not that. Only 2 won't eat and 1 is a male, which is why I decided to ask if the winter thing is true or not?

It's not winter itself, it is the time of year...it's the age old internal clock telling them it's breeding time and meals are unnecessary for the moment. Some specimens will be unaffected others not so much.

How large are they?
It's not uncommon for mature BPs to go off feed for the Breeding Season, which has begun. Going off feed for a youngster shouldn't happen due to the season tough.

OK so even males can stop because of the "mood"?
