Is it okay for her to go 2+ weeks without eating?
    A few weeks, and even a few months, of not eating is perfectly normal for a two year old BP. Just keep an eye on her body shape and weight for any significant changes. Chances are she's just "balancing herself out" and being a typical adult BP and will be back on feed before you know it.
