I need help desperately to figure out what's wrong with my Texas Brown.  I've had my texas brown for a year now. He has gone through 3 very successful molts & has been eating very good. A couple weeks ago we went on vacation in the RV and took Mr Fuzzy and the dogs with us, like we have in the past. While we were gone Mr Fuzzy didn't eat 1 cricket nor did he eat a cricket the week before we left. When we got back home got him settled back in a routine we out another cricket in the aquarium with him. He started going crazy. He's climbing & running very fast all over the aquarium, still not eating but drinks a lot. He's spinning webs all over the cage as well. I looked around some sites and it said he could be ready to molt and to remove the cricket. We removed the cricket for about a week and kept him covered up except to make sure he had fresh water. He spun more webs but he's not graying up like he does before he molts. It's been just over a week now &  he's calmed back down & just moving around the bottom of the cage now. So this evening I put a small cricket in the cage with him. He went nuts again and now I've noticed he has lost some hair on his abdomen. I don't know what's wrong with him can someone please please help me out.</p></blockquote><p></p>
