I aquired a (supposed F) Hyllus Diardi from a reptile show last weekend and she has not eaten since then, offered her fruitflies, pinhead crickets and a 4th house cricket with no avail, am trying to raise bluebottle flies from maggots as no sellers I my area so it seems, but have yet to even pupate so don't really want to wait that long. Misting her temporary deli pot once daily and is in a comfortable 24oC room. Her abdomen seems tiny to me and I am a concerned spood father. Any advice and helpful tips would be appreciated. I will attach photos for viewing many thanks in advance.

There is a few reasons she could not be hungry
1. She’s just full
2. She is about to lay a egg sac
3. She just needs time to settle in.
She looks quite plump so she could be gravid

Thank you, this is my first time owning this species, if you think she looks plump I won't worry. I did my research and lots of pictures showed then with a round abdomen so I kinda panicked. I will leave her be and monitor her, I did think maybe she might be going into a moult but just wanted someone else's opinion so thanks. 👍👍
