[QUOTE="hellknite, post: 34719, member: 3252"] If a T refuses to eat I offer a different type of feeder until it eats.. but if does not, I leave it be. Example: A. geniculata Dubia (not interested) Superworm (not interested) Lateralis (not interested) Cricket (pounces it up quickly) G. pulchripes Superworm (not interested) Cricket (not interested) Lateralis (eats it up instantly) I'm not forcing my T's to eat but this feeding ritual has worked well many times. I don't know if there is an explanation about this on why T's refuse some feeders. Of course this is limited based on the availability of feeders one keeps. Just wanted to know your views on this one. [/QUOTE]
