I'd say something like "is/was/will-be ....-ing in/during winter months".

ca'o lo dunra masti naku citka
"During the winter months, (they) were not/are not/won't be eating."

I wouldn't say it's wrong, just strange to focus on the event of
eating as it develops, when I assume all you mean to say is that they
don't eat all through winter.
