my t jumps/pounces on prey, but doesnt eat it

[AllenjacobNones]

my fem genic just pounce on her food, like pretending its eating it but on reality it just jumps on it or pounce, he is mated, or probably premolt? its been 6 months since her last molt and i decided to pair her

here are some pics

Her abdomen is larger than her carpace maybe she just isn’t hungry she isn’t starving though. She looks fat to me. How large is she???

As said already, that's one fat T, she shouldn't need to eat again until after next moult and that's probably why she isn't taking the food, just not hungry.

It’s so fat it blocks the sun. Maybe that’s why

but i bred her, does that mean she will molt out and i have to breed her again?

Yeah if she moults you will have to pair her again I'm afraid.

That's one bulky-looking geniculata.

All hail the satiated royal!
