Geniculata week after molt is not hungry?

[Snowy Snowman]

So, after a month of premolt, my Acanthoscurria geniculata molted. It's a male, to my slight dissapointment. It's just been a week after the molt, and I figured the exoskeleton has hardened enough, so I tossed a superworm in. I crushed the head so it doesn't burrow, and I plopped it in front of the T. He got startled, moved a little back, and then just sat there. I nudged the worm to make it move a little, and when it did he just curled his legs up in front of him in the classic Geniculata "leave me alone" posture. What's up?

How big is the t? is it mature?


Unless its small, a week wont be nearly enough....wait another week.

You said it yourself, leave him alone for a bit longer

It's a juvie, around 3.5" after the molt. I'll def check back in a week, thanks for the advice!

I wait a minimum of 10 days at that size before trying to resume feeding.
