[QUOTE="KIA_PETE, post: 141525, member: 28353"] I know.. I know its like the age old question and could be 1000 things. I am aware some times T's just stop feeding. However my davus is not eating and has not eaten in over 3months which i find a worrying time frame as its only about 7cm leg span juvenile Its drinking frequently iv tried squishing my roaches heads and leaving them out. some times they have gone other times not. but after having a small clean out, iv found there corpses buried as they tend to stay alive for days after squishing them so im not sure if she has eaten one or not. the only time iv think she's fed is when she attacked in aggression then accidentally just continued to eat however i have not managed that again. i keep trying to feed her every couple of days but she just goes defensive then runs off. i have tried small and large food items. i have not disturbed her for a week then tried to feed her again. Nothing seems to work right now i have just left a live roach in there and hoping shes a night feeder and can find it again. Is 3 month a concerning time frame? my room is around 24-27c with a humidity of about 55-60 which i thought was about ideal. [/QUOTE]
