Since I got the Dubia’s none of my T’s have eaten. The Versicolor doesn’t surprise me so much because it molted in transit about 2 weeks ago.
Crickets didn’t stand a chance with my Boehmei, but it just walks away when I try to hand feed it the roaches. This guy may be getting ready to molt, but I‘m not sure.
The P. Irminia didn’t stirke the cricket until the next night. I didn’t see this, just looked over and it was eating it.
Now the Irminia seems almost scared of the Dubia‘s . It shot in it’s hole on two previous feeding attempts and today It was inside it’s hole, but at the entrance. I slowly lowered the Dubia in front of it and it looked like the T struck hard. The roach was dragged halfway in the hole, but a couple of seconds later I see the Irminia pop out the back of his hole. The roach disappeared. This is the second roach that pulled a David Copperfield on me in that enclosure. The first one is still MIA, about a week ago.
The Irminia has not eaten in nearly two weeks when I feed it the last cricket, and from what I can tell it doesn’t look like it is about to molt.
If they are pre molt, then everything is fine I suppose, but in case that isn’t it, any idea’s what could be wrong? The Irminia is about 2” and the Boehmei is about 1 ½ “ if that makes a difference.
Also, should I move the Irminia to a deli cup and get the 2 roaches out of there?
Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated.
Thanks
