As long as mine will feed, I continue to feed. But as the season moves on, I start to offer less frequently - once every two weeks. Most of mine are normally not feeding (at all) this time of year, but over half are still going strong.

I will put one in and if no takers within say 15 minutes, take it out and offer it again in a week. Now, if they be busy.....wink,wink....... I'd pass till they weren't 
. Don't pressure them or they may stress enough to go off breeding. Just check the weights occasionally to be sure no one is loosing to much and things should be fine. Hope this helps.
