So i was pretty paranoid that my GBB was rejecting food the last time i fed and just walked in the door and looked in its cage and sure enough it molted:D !! Still got a long way to go until it gets larger but its a start anyways..

Very cute, I just love their striped abdomens when they are little. Don't stress out. If a GBB stops eating it means a moult is going to happen. Yours looks like a little dude yet, so be prepared. All of mine when they get a little bigger, particularly if they are provided with a hide, will go into it and seal themselves in at the first sign of a moult. They then will stay sealed in the hide until they are ready to eat again.
For one getting close to adult size that can be a month to 6 weeks and it can get really creepy. You can pull the webbing down to check on them, at which point you will get either an injured look or an abdomen ready to kick hairs at you. After which they will seal themselves back up.
