I own two phiddipus audax, a young female and what i think to be an adult male, who is refusing to eat. Its winter now so i have no access to flies anymore, which he loved to eat when they were out, but i started buying crickets around 3 weeks ago, and he ate 1 but since that he ate a fly about 2 weeks ago and has refused to take any food, cricket and waxworm. Hes pretty small but the crickets are tiny so i dont think hes scared, hes mabye just not used to crickets? I dont really know, should i just keep offering them but let him do whatever and trust him? Or what? He seems to want food to be able to fly up by him, but when i hold a fly he takes it, so he should take a cricket, but he hasnt eaten in like 2 weeks so im worried. This is him today and he doesnt look super skinny or anything and hes just as active, but enjoys staying in a little hammock alot. Any ideas? Thankyou! Him and the female are wild caught, he has stayed that size for about 3 months so i think hes an adult, but the female takes all food and is not an adult yet. Hoping he takes food soon.
