[QUOTE="Combat Advantage, post: 182897, member: 33095"] Mine just molted and was like that the past few weeks. She avoided all food until today. Something I found helpful are mini feeding "tongs". They are probably made for soldering since I was given them from my Dad when I was a kid. He worked on electronics. They are long skinny tweezers. I can offer live bugs and if they aren't eating, they won't take it from the tongs. That way, I can put the food away for later and it won't spoil and go to waste. The other thing I would check is temperature. Its that time of year so the chili nights might be slowing metabolism. Check temp and increase as necessary. [/QUOTE]
