[QUOTE="HoneyBeeeHappy, post: 204009, member: 37926"] I've had glorious little Pumpkin for over 3 years now, she's a G. Pulchripes, and I got her when she was tinier than my pinkie nail and she lived in a glorified test tube (idk if she's a she, she's a bit small to tell). She's also my first - and only - t. She's always been a good eater - I've joked that she's the most "well-behaved" pet I have - but she stopped eating late September. It was the first time she's ever refused a cricket. I figured she might be getting ready to molt, so I left her alone. Two weeks later, no molt, and I tried again. No dice. I just tried again today - she was sitting in that odd boxy position and it concerned me, so I poked her a few times with a straw and it barely provoked a response. She ignored the cricket, even though I chased it until it [I]ran underneath [/I]her, and eventually she crawled sluggishly into her cave. Which she barely ever uses. I removed the cricket because, if she [I]is [/I]going to molt, I don't want it nibbling on her. I'm worried she's not getting enough moisture, or maybe has that incurable death disease where t's stop eating. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
