I just mean that Ts can fast for a very long time. I've had Ts not eat for anywhere from 6 to 12 months (despite being offered food once per week), with no signs of being unhealthy. No shrunken abdomens, no decreased energy/activity.

My point is, without actually seeing Roaches being eaten, or without noticing a decrease in the population of roaches; how do you know your T is just not fasting? Granted the odds are low that it is fasting, but it is possible.
