I caught it on Thursday and it's now Sunday and it hasn't eaten at all. Help. I've tried flightless fly's, aphids moths and it won't eat them. When I first caught it, it stalked an ant i misidentified as a fly and it jumped on it, only to walk away in disgust as it was an ant. She hasn't eaten since. Help.

Hi I had a female zebra who wouldn’t eat can you post a picture of her to see the abdomen size?

Photos please! Don’t worry. It’s only been a few days. Sometimes it takes a bit for them to start eating! (Depending on species/age) they can go weeks without eating.

Abdomen doesn't look shrivelled. I wouldn't worry. It'll eat when it's hungry. I assume you have provided hiding places and have been offering water droplets?
