Some males will eat if given a break...others simply frantically roam the front of their bin, so it doesn't seem they really get much rest.
My male must smell her in the enclosure above him. Last year, after taking FT food for 1st 2 years, he stopped eating (figured later it was cause of female), and i now have to give him live mouse to "get him going", then follow that with FT rat.

He has been very active at night near the top of his cage.

Curious, why do some folks say wait 4 weeks, others say few days?
