I have a pinktoe that i think is in premolt but can't really tell because the abdomen is usually dark with this species does anyone know how to tell if a avic is in premolt?

My avic is in premolt right now. Each time he constructs an elaborate tunnel web/hammock with several funnel holes and just sits in the hammock part constantly. He also refuses food for several weeks.
