What could be wrong with my irminia sling, she molted a month ago and since then she has not touched food once, she is constantly in burrow and not taking any food, live or prekilled one, I have 3 other slings and they are doing great with exact same setups and husbandry.
I appreciate any help or advice in advance.

Pictures would help.

Possibly an issue with the sucking stomach. Do you still have the molt ?

It is quite odd....at that size it should have been eating in a week...they have big appetites, so something could be wrong, whether its missing fangs or an unmolted sucking stomach or something else....check to make sure its fangs are intact.

Yes I thought that myself, my other irminias all have good apetites but this one was weak eater from the day i got her, and now after this last molt she is not eating at all, all she does is staying in her burrow 24/7, I'm not even sure she is still alive

A little update today, she just ate, I dropped prekilled superworm and she took it, I feel so relieved now that I know she's ok, thank you all for your help.
