hey everyone,
I have had my p. murinus for about a year and she's always been a little different than I expected but these past couple weeks have been extremely concerning. She has been in her burrow with most of her legs curled underneath her body :\ It has been months since she has eaten anything -- I offer multiple types of food on a regular basis but she never goes for it; she either ignores it completely, moves away from it, or will rear up momentarily. Yesterday she did come out of the burrow so I was able to see how shrunken her abdomen has become and it breaks my heart! She did drink for about 15 or 20 minutes (first time I have observed this) but I don't know what to do for her if she won't eat. She is on coconut fiber, has a water dish but I otherwise keep the tank pretty dry, the temp is around 75, and I've tried crickets, dubia roaches, and wax worms. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it! She's one of my favorite Ts and I don't want to lose her!
