I'm doing that also. I feed Redrum 2 lateralis pinheads every night. He's been hiding in his burrow the last couple days so i'm hoping he's getting ready to molt. But he's still eating. All i get to see are a leg and his pedi's as he snags the pinhead when it starts down his burrow. Koby has holed himself up in his burrow, he's walled up the opening and has cleared out a space in the corner of the enclosure so we might be able to see him molt. His abdomen is still pale but the triangular spot on top is quite dark and he hasn't eaten in 2 weeks.

We tried feeding Marley this evening with a small dubai, not even half his abdomen size, and he ran up the wall and wouldn't come down until it was removed. My son talked me into going to buy crickets tomorrow so Marley would eat again. He hasn't eaten in about 2 weeks also. I ordered a bunch of lateralis from neherps today, hopefully Marley will eat those so i don't have to buy crickets again.

Edit: Sorry not neherps, feedersource.com. I was at neherps looking at the cork bark selections.

[QUOTE="kormath, post: 59248, member: 4199"] I'm doing that also. I feed Redrum 2 lateralis pinheads every night. He's been hiding in his burrow the last couple days so i'm hoping he's getting ready to molt. But he's still eating. All i get to see are a leg and his pedi's as he snags the pinhead when it starts down his burrow. Koby has holed himself up in his burrow, he's walled up the opening and has cleared out a space in the corner of the enclosure so we might be able to see him molt. His abdomen is still pale but the triangular spot on top is quite dark and he hasn't eaten in 2 weeks. We tried feeding Marley this evening with a small dubai, not even half his abdomen size, and he ran up the wall and wouldn't come down until it was removed. My son talked me into going to buy crickets tomorrow :( so Marley would eat again. He hasn't eaten in about 2 weeks also. I ordered a bunch of lateralis from neherps today, hopefully Marley will eat those so i don't have to buy crickets again. Edit: Sorry not neherps, feedersource.com.
