| I wouldn't worry too much, both of my two went for three weeks without feeding, then both fed together on the same night, must be something to do with the cold weather we've had recently. It's starting to warm up now though, so hopefully they'll start to eat soon. |

i'm up to about 7 weeks with out a feed. royals can go months without food so dont start panicing til he/she starts losing weight.
weigh every week and keep a record of the weight... |

warmer ambient temps, longer daylight hours................ they'll be thinking about girls/boys most likely!
keep an eye on their weight to make sure they're not losing any. |
