    Longest period of time your BP has fasted.

    Hey Guys,

    So I've recently been dealing with a stubborn BP who refused to eat for almost 10 MONTHS.. He went off feed in the beginning of October and just ate this past Sunday.

    I know that BP's have been known to go off feed for up to a year but it got me thinking..

    What is the longest any of your BP's have gone off feed?

    Mine is at month ten with no signs of breaking his fast. I know a guy whose male didn't eat for 25 months... Now THAT is a long time.

    Luckily, only 2 months! It's hard to see one of your most voratious eaters with the most genetic potential go off feed! Especially when you're trying desperately to get her up to breeding weights
