You are welcome. Try not to worry if they skip a meal or two. I would feed twice a day and pick up anything they don’t eat after 10-20 minutes and put it in the fridg, offer at the next meal time.
As long as they have fresh water available and are drinking they will be fine, I would not be concerned unless they don’t eat solid food for 72 hours. They will eat when they are hungry.
It’s not mean, and remember you do want to get that extra weight off.
