I have always been around T's, my Aunt had them since I was born, and when I was 5 she gave me her collection. They died in house fire when I was 7. When I was 16 I got my own place, and gave in to the addiction, and ended up with 3 beauties. When I was 26 I moved to a new country and left them with my sister.
I remember having an Avic Avic when I was 5, and I can't for the life of me think how she differed from the others when it came to feeding time, But I recently fell in love and couldn't resist bringing home a beautiful Pink Toe.
My two others are B.Vagan and a Pokie, I drop a cricket in every other day, also treat them with locusts, they are both thriving (even thinking of lowering the amount of food on my Vagan, she is so big around her abdomen), no problems at all, food is gone within the hour. But my little Avic, well, she sits right at the top of the terranium, doesn't budge for anything, and I have to get the crickets out after a few days, she ate fine when I first got her home, she moved around the tank alot more, and was able to find her food, she of course stopped feeding for awhile (longer than I anticipated for a younger T) then molted, after about about 3 and a half weeks of not eating. I gave her a week to settle then tried to feed her, and have had this problem ever since. She hasn't eaten for about 6 weeks now, and although I know she can survive just fine for awhile longer, I want her to be happy and healthy, not just surviving.
Her terranium is tall and narrow, not too big for her size, there is a lovely and soft fake plant in there for her to climb, which she doesn't bother with, correct substrate on the ground, temp and humidity are within the correct range, everything should be fine, but she sits high up in the tank, and the food sits at the bottom, I'm not sure if she just doesn't sense it is there, or if there is another problem going on.
Should I take her to a vet, take the plant out, limit her height for now? How do your climbers feed?
I do not know her age, though she is pretty young, I would say 8 months to a year judging by her size.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to give as much info as possible!
