Hello all,
I have recently acquired a Ranatra spp from a dealer, and have put him/her in a housing following this article: http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatr...uatic-insects-for-arachnid-fans/#.WS3e92jyubg
So far, everything is fine, except he/she does not seem to want to eat. I have tried the suggestions in the article, as well as from other areas, but it will not take anything from the tongs. I have offered earthworms, raw fish, and centipedes, with no luck. This has been the case for about four days, and does not seem to change depending on the time. It seems to be otherwise healthy, and appears to be attempting to hunt, as shown in the attached image, and moves around occasionally. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
