Lots of kings go off feed this time of year anyway, but it is kind of strange this is the first time in, I'm assuming, 7 years. Cooler temps could be responsible. Is there anything you have done different this time to cause lower temps? Like, is the cage being heated a different way or is the cage in a different area. Believe it or not, I had a king refuse for over 6 months and never noticeably lost weight at normal room temps. It was a long time ago and probably my fault because I wasn't providing the right conditions. I wouldn't worry about the two months without any food, that's nothing. I wouldn't try to fix the situation because of the time of year. I would just cool it and let it be till mid March. I'm sure will get a lot of opinions here. Just go with what sounds best.
