Just a quick question. Do females go off feed this time of year generally?

LOl that's great. I think she is dieting. Right now I am feeding every 14 days. She has skipped 2 feedings. that's no food in a month. How much longer before I should worry?

if she is not loosing weight,, she can go for longer than you can. I wouldnt worry. if she's at good weight.. keep offering on your reg. feeding schedule and she'll eat when she's ready.
