Hello, I'm pretty much out of ideas of why my golden knee Juvenile refuses any food offered to her for nearly a year now.
I acquired her at 8th of June, 2016, since then she molted once at 17.7.2016.
Since then she refused any food I offered to her.
I tried feeding her with Meal worms and Super worms.
I tried leaving the worms for the night, squished their heads a bit but eventually after 1-2 weeks i found them as beetles...
She just backs off or turns around, as like she isn't interested.
Both worms I feed with oath meal and keep rotating fresh carrot while removing the old remains.
I make sure to change their oath meal bedding every now and then to prevent mold.
In addition I occasionally grind cat food and add it as well.
The worms look nice and plump and already passed several cycles.
So i don't think the food is the issue.
In addition to this I make sure her bottle cup is always filled with fresh water at all times.
My seller stated that she had no issues eating mean worms/super worms before.
She is VERY shy, and mostly hangs around her lair, so I don't even try to handle her.
She doesn't show any symptoms of weakness (abdomen/leg dragging/small abdomen) or dehydration.
I just can't figure for the life of me why she is refusing food for so long.
I have searched the internet and didn't find someone with my case, especially as she is only a juvenile.
I never found someone with the case of a juvenile refusing for for such long time.
Hell, I feel like I spend more time tending to the worms rather than my spider.
Please help, I'm completely out of ideas and have no clue what else can I do, she is my first T.
