Hello,
I haven't seen my small H. petersii (about 1 1/4 inch) eating ever since I got him almost 5 months ago. Every two weeks I give him 6-8 small-sized crickets and it seems to be that some of them disappear while some are left uneaten. But I could be mistaken since the remaining crickets could be buried somewhere in the substrate or, I don't know, maybe could have jumped out while I was opening the cage and I didn't notice or .. who knows. Only once, about a month ago, did I notice poop on the glass.
He mostly just hangs out in his favorite spot, first used to be under the rock, then hidden behind the water dish, now he likes to sit on, or even in, the water dish. But never displays any interest in the crickets walking around, even if I chase him directly into his claws, or attempt to feed him with tongs ... what's wrong with my little guy?
I am attaching a pic of the setup.
Also, he never molted while in my care and he seems to have some sort of brown-like dried substance on his carapace, no idea what that could be.
