    If mine go off feed, I'll try and feed them every 2-3 weeks. I also offer them a smaller meal than their normal size.

    If you haven't tried in a few weeks and he is out, I would give it a shot.

    Oh. If he doesn't eat this time. Make sure to get a weight and then weigh him each time he refuses to eat. (Don't do it right before you try to feed) That way you can keep an eye on his weight.

    Mine always quit eating this time of year. One of them quit last year for months. They can go quite a while without eating, be sure you weigh them and monitor their weight while they aren't eating so they don't lose too much weight.
