I've made a post with concerns about my Metallic Pinktoe before, and she's been fine since then and I haven't had too many problems with her. We have a feeding system I guess where she waits at the bottom of the enclosure in the same spot every time she's hungry so I'll know when to feed her then climb back up after she's full. But, I went away for 6 weeks and left her with my friend during my winter break, he said that she stayed at the bottom of her enclosure most of the time and would eat every time he fed her.
I came back and brought her home but she's pretty much staying exactly in her spot, she's pretty big (about 4 1/2 inches) but she won't eat more than one cricket at a time and won't eat anything but crickets so I'm thinking maybe it's more of an issue with not getting enough food and she's trying to eat more and waiting there? But I'm not sure how to get her to eat more if she refuses crickets. I'm also not sure if she's having issues with her enclosure but she's had it for a few months and seems to really enjoy it when she's up there although she hasn't webbed much.
So I guess the overall question is why won't she leave her little feeding spot when I am feeding her?
