I know your pain, it is really frustrating! I have a female that takes a week off almost every three weeks exactly! A friend of mine told me to feed her twice a week when she's eating to make up for the weeks that she doesn't eat, and I'm glad he did otherwise that girl wouldn't be my largest virgin girl! She kept right up with the other girls and even got a little heavier than them. Man did she make me angry when she was taking breaks like clock work (for almost 2 years, she's a little better now)! My pastel took a 3 week break last year when I was breeding and power feeding him. My power feeding is every 4 days, so it's not like I'm out of control, they just get "full" I guess![]()
