Sean,
If you don't see them feed immediately, don't be alarmed. I stocked CNBG/RES mid - August last year and immediately began a pellet feeding regimen. I didn't see them hit the feed until 3 weeks later...not sure why. Maybe the fish were getting adjusted to their new environment. Just be careful not to introduce too much feed into your pond if it is not being consumed. Uneaten feed decomposing can cause oxygen depletion issues. Once you notice your fish responding to the feeder, you can always increase the amount. I didn't see my fish for months. I saw my first RES a couple of weeks ago.
Good luck,
Charlie
