okay so i could be completely overreacting since this is technically my first t but my lp sling hasn't eaten since i got him... 13 days ago. i've tried whole mealworms and half mealworms, both of which he avoids. i've even tried leaving them in there overnight and they are still intact the next morning.
he also looks smaller and less hairy than every other lp sling picture i've seen. he's been mostly silver until today; he now has turned a darker gray except for the lower half of his abdomen which is still a light silver. he was suppose to be 1.5" upon arrival but they sent one WAY smaller, about 1/2" to 3/4".
i keep thinking that maybe he's in premolt, but i'm still worried since lp slings supposedly love to eat and mine won't even consider it. maybe he needs different food? i really wasn't expecting to get a t so small... any help would be great! (the first 2 pics are today, the 3rd is from a week ago)
