This is my adult female G.rosea. She hasn't eaten a thing in 2 years. She is regularly offered crickets, locusts, roaches, dead pinkies and even a big african mantis. She ignores everything, sometimes kicking them away. She drinks water every now and then.
As you can see she's still sporting a nice, plump abdomen. She doesn't seem to have suffered any ill effects so far.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to persuade her it's time to start eating again? I'd really like her to get back to how she was a couple of years ago. She used to be quite active and a good eater. I've tried to be patient but 2 years is enough as far as I'm concerned.
I keep her tank dry with the temperature in the mid 70's. I have three other NW terrestrials that have identical conditions and are all eating/molting well.
