Balfouri (2 males housed together, and one female in her own house) are TERRIFIED of food.  It doesn't matter what I put in;  small crickets, medium crickets, mealworms, etc; they all run away and hide from food. One male is probably 2.5-3'' and the other is roughly 1.5-2''; and the female is 2'', they're freakin' wussbags; and I don't believe they're in premolt, they're all still a nice light gray in the booty. My males will go as far as walling their holes up within 2 hours of dropping a cricket in. Compared to my L. parahybana slings who'll take down mealworms twice their size like fearless little rage-legs I just don't know what to do for the MBs, but I'm getting really tired of spending 20 minutes fishing crickets out of their houses.</blockquote>
