[QUOTE="kormath, post: 57497, member: 4199"] My son asked me to post this to see what advice was out there. He's concerned about his new Fire Leg Koby. Koby has been with us since Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I thought he ate that night after we got him but my son doesn't think he's eaten yet. He flicked a few hairs at us when we put him in his enclosure, and since then has flicked all the hairs off of the back half of his abdomen. We're guessing he was flicking them at the crickets we've been trying to feed him. First cricket feeding I saw was on Friday, and Koby ran from that one. Then we tried a cricket with the rear legs removed Saturday and Koby wouldn't go near it. Monday my son killed a cricket and placed it near his burrow entrance but he wouldn't come out at all until it was removed. Last night i wounded a cricket and placed it near his burrow, hoping the spasms would draw the spider out but he didn't take the bait. My son's worried with all the hair flicked off his abdomen and Koby not eating there's something wrong. I'm wondering if he's going into molt. [ATTACH]12300[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
