    However, at that age, and this time of year, I'd chalk it up to coincidence. He's likely more concerned with finding a mate. I would offer every 2 weeks (or even longer) until he eats. You'll likely find he'll start up again in a few months and won't look back...for a while...

    I have to agree with these guys as far as looking for a mate as we are getting into breeding season. My 2yr old Mojave has gone thru this. he may want a meal, sometimes will refuse a couple few Meals. Don’t worry to much like it was stated above wait a 2 - 3 weeks to re offer food. He is more worried about getting some than food right now 😂
