[QUOTE="Steff, post: 46026, member: 3786"] Hi all! So after my last P. muticus sling passed away (poor thing was ill on arrival) I got another one, this one slightly bigger. He's very defensive, stridulates at everything, seems healthy from what I can tell, but he won't eat. I've tried feeding him every few days for the past two weeks, and at most he'll stridulate, threat posture and occasionally strike at the food but never actually eats it. At first I assumed he was just stressed from moving to a new enclosure, but now I have to wonder if he's in premoult. I'm not sure why else he'd refuse food. I took some photos of his abdomen, does this look like premoult? :confused: [/QUOTE]
