Since pyros react to subtle changes in temperature and the wild pyros are just now starting to get their feed bag on with gusto, because of lower, more favorable temps, I'd venture a guess that even though the keeper doesn't realize it (no offense, just a possibility) the ambient temps in his room are changing and the pyros are reacting like pyros do, by going into conservation mode until conditions are favorable again (damn, long sentence). Now if the keeper puts them down for the season, they will begin feeding with zeal again in the spring when they are brought back up. However, if the keeper starts shooting around the enclosure with a temp gun and and addresses the issue by offering slightly higher and possibly slightly lower temp choices within the cage, they will once again turn on and begin feeding.....whaddya think, close?
