It's a juvenile GBB of undetermined sex. I've tried feeding it once a week post-moult, but so far - it has expressed no interest, with the exception of semi-grabbing a roach. I've also tried feeding it crickets.I know not eating is usually not a concern - and it's likely nothing. But my problem is - it's been so inactive recently? Prior to moulting, it spent a lot of time webbing and hanging out in a hammock off the substrate. But since moulting - it's just sitting on the side of the tank by the heat pad, not moving. There is always a full water dish - and it's clear it's drinking because i'm re-filling it at least every two days. I've been told, and from my own research, that GBB require little humidity so I've avoided spraying the enclosure. Thanks !</blockquote>
