    Re: Longest period of time your BP has fasted.

    So far, only a couple of months. We do have one girl though that yo yo diets. She'll pound food for a month and then cease eating altogether for a month. It's like clockwork. She's so crazy. And hey, I've been meaning to ask this question, so what better post to get it on. At what point do you guys start to worry about their not eating? Is it a certain weight they get down to or the way they act? I can tell you after a ten month span my fiancee would be strapping me down so he could force feed them, but when does it really get to be time for that?

    If they've eaten before and recognize prey and your husbandry is right, they're not going to starve themselves to death.
