Heeeeelp!
We've got a Martinique Pink Toe spiderling - about 2 cms length (inc legs). We've had him about 4 weeks now and he's just not eating.
I've tried : fruit flies... some small No1 crickets.... small hoppers (at the pet store's advice)... some mealworms (cut into approx 7mm length)... but the little dude just isn't interested.
I've tried temps from 15c to 25c (in stages, obviously). I've tried re-homing him (he came in a little vial, so I moved him into a slightly larger waxwork tub - have also tried a 'starbucks cup' sized tub half filled with substrate and a couple of climbing twigs added so that he is able to get some height - but worried that might be too big so he's back in the waxwork tub for now).
He/she is quite sprightly (especially with the temperatures at 25) but just doesn't seem to be hungry.
Any advice gratefully received.
