Refusing food

Aragon has been refusing crickets and meal worms the past two weeks. He isn't even spinning a web, or anything. He seems comfortable because I catch him grooming himself and he is always sprawled out 90% of the time. Do you think he is in pre-molt? It is really hard to tell if his abdomen is darker than usual because he has such a black furry butt anyhow haha. But whenever I present him food he will walk away from it or just rear and tap at my tongs so I am pretty puzzled. I even tried leaving one large cricket in his enclosure for an hour or two and just keep my fingers crossed that I see some scraps left over..but nothing. Need some help here guys! But on the other hand I have good news....I will be expecting a Chaco Golden Knee sling tomorrow around 10:30am!! I purchased one from Paul Becker at Pet Centers USA, he was VERY helpful with my purchase and sent me some care tips videos! I highly recommend purchasing T's from him he is awesome!! :)

I wouldn't worry about your T...like Kenny said, it is probably premolt. Congrats on the new T, hope to see photos! :)
