Stopped eating...

Ok i know once in a while they stop eating, I got a 4 year old female last week and have kept her in a seperate room, but since i got her my male stopped eating and roams his tank alot more, Just wondering what amount of time i should start to worry about him not eating. Seems like he knows she is there...

Female scent is putting male off from feeding to breed. Just offer as usual and if he has good weight dont worry about it. Should either start eating soon or start back up in spring.

Yeah you hit the nail on the head. He wants some of what she has to offer, but can't get it. He will start eating, it may take 1 week or 3 months, but he will get back into it.
