Enclosure looks good! Much better than mine! As for your rosie not eating, mine is about the same size- have not given her any food for 2-3 weeks. Last cricket I put in there died of starvation! laugh.gif Your T's butt still looks good so no need to worry. Try a cricket every week or two and see if it wants to eat.

When you pour water into an empty cup, it does not overflow immediately. Maybe your first feeding just partially filled the cup, need to feed it a couple of times to get it to overflow.


Try a couple more times and see if there's any difference. So long as the T is still eating, it will get bigger eventually. I received a WC Chilobrachys with a very small abdomen. I fed it a bunch of crickets and her butt still looked small. Even after a roach, it did not look as big as I thought it would get considering the roach was quite big but slowly and surely her butt began to grow.

BTW, I read something a few days ago on one of the forums. Seems a bunch a T keepers do not think mealworms should be a staple diet for T's. I'm not saying it is bad- just regurgitating what I read and putting it out there for further discussion. A while ago some guy also did an experiment and fed a group of T's mealworms and another group crickets. I think the cricket group grew faster. The experiment wasn't very scientific, don't think he weighed the prey items so maybe one group grew faster because the prey were bigger- I don't know. Either way, it doesn't affect me cause I use crickets- just because it is simpler for me to deal with. biggrin.gif
