    Males off feed

    Hello....My males have been off feed for about a month or so....they all have reached at least 600g and most have reach 800-1000g. Is there anything I can do to get them eating again? They are in a rack system with temps at 87 degrees F. Advice??

    Nah, just keep offering food and they'll eat eventually.

    It's like having a staring contest with a snake...but this one you get to win. Keep offering and they will eventually eat.

    800 to 1000 is prime weight for a breeding male. I would be slowing them down anyway. this is where you want to go more by the look of him than I feed him in this many days. these are males not females. that's most likely why they stop feeding, they usually know when to stop when you don't. good luck with them, nothing to worry about. don
