"So on occasion I think that individual indigos can get "shocked" by too much change and don't seem to recover. I really hope this isn't what's going on there."

i think doug has a great point here. a tad bit of stress (cage change) might amplify the winter tendency to go off feed.

a similar thing happened to my pair. they would hit the food before it touched the floor of the cage, then i transferred them to new and bigger cages (in october). they both became far less enthusiastic about food, to the point of refusing meals every once in a while. they are just now starting to get back to eager eating. i also increased the heat in their cages by turning off the exhaust fans in their cages (mainly to increase humidity, but also increase heat).

good luck, but i don't think you're in trouble yet.
