OOOOOOOOOOO yes the 500-700 point , its funny how some will stop and others keep on feeding , it has been my experience that it is more prevalent with males . And just wait till they hit 2 years old I have had some female but again mostly males go off feed for extended periods of time , I had a male that went off for 6 months at 2yr. and at 4yr. almost 5yr. He went off feed foe 8 and a half months and he was 2100gr. And he dropped to 1652gr. So I’d say it is very common so just be patient and keep offering them food and like they said above tri changing thing up some to spark a response . David
