Possible molt.

So, I fed my OBT two days ago. Today nothing is happening. I can see parts of the tunnel system it made, but the cricket is still running loose. I used a slightly smaller pinhead then last time. So, I'm curious to know. How fast can a T go from intermolt to molt. Is two days enough?

Don't leave crickets in with Ts they're nasty creatures and could kill your t if it was to molt .

In regards to the molt a t can eat one day and molt the next. But as pets they aren't massively active. If you fed it 2 days ago it's fine.let it settle in to its new enclosure. Refusing food doesn't always mean premolt. Normally means leave me alone.

Main thing to do is remove the cricket. If your going to leave one in overnight kill it first.

How big is your OBT? You can probably feed it quarters. I have a sling that sealed itself underground and hasnt been eating. They do that. Sometimes for weeks, sometimes months. The best remedy is get more spiders. That way you don't get bored by one

I had a successful feeding yesterday. Guess it just likes to hide
