Surely they have not gone this long without eating?

Maybe they just are not hungry at dinner time. I put the food out in the morning and they eat little bits all day long, some days they eat it all, but more often they do not.

If they are active and peeing and pooping, I would not worry about it, but if they appeer sick then by all means take them in.
they don't eat much during the day and they have a few (not that many) treats when ever i try and work on a new trick.

My cocker Tessa (RIP baby) had a very bad underbite and would not eat out of a bowl - she couldn't pick up the food - once I put it on a plate she did eat - but let me tell you - she was EIGHT years old before she ate from her dish - We hand fed her every day
well Max is 6 months and his baby teeth have started to come out (well before this all happened so don't think it's that) and Cleo is nearly 2
