I have two larger (800+ & 1100+g) girls who came here about 3wks ago.. both of them were supposedly feeding well before i got them. they would eat two weeks in a row then a week off. I got them both on the week off so technically they havnt eaten for two feedings. husbandry is spot on and one of them just had an amazing shed recently (i know that could be why she hadnt eaten prior but its been about 5dys since she shed and still isnt eating)
they havnt lost much weight, a few grams is all and both of them have gone the bathroom since coming here but part of me is still concerned with them not eating.. how long should they go "off feed" before i should get worried? how long is a typical "off feed" term for? Should I take them to the breeder and see if he can get them to eat? (That would be opening a can of worms i would say) we have tried giving them prescented ASF mice with no luck.. I suppose they will eat when they get hungry.. we have just continued offering once a week
