[QUOTE="Steve1980, post: 64893, member: 4322"] I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. About 3 to 4 months ago my avic made a nice webbed enclosure for himself. Then went on a feeding frenzy and would eat a large cricket every other day for a little over a week. When finished proceeded to web off the entrance so there was no getting in or out. I figured it was molting time. About 4 days later he molted just fine in the lower portion of his sling. The molt was down in a little corner that resembled a small pocket. A few days later he moved the molt out of the this lower pocket area and crawled in there himself. He tucked himself into a ball in that little pocket and has not moved for the past 3 to 4 months. I opened the entrance and took out the molt and have gently pushed up underneath him to see if he would move at all and nothing. When this started it was october and getting colder. Keep the house around 68 degrees and do not have any sort of tank heater, just a shallow water dish in a 5 gallon aquarium standing up on end. Im fearing the worst but hoping he will come back out towards spring. He is still fairly small as he just got his adult colors in july. Anyone with similiar experiences? [/QUOTE]
