When they hang out by the water dish too much thats usually a sign the substrates too dry. Mine all close off their burrows for the molt before they refuse food. I've never seen any of mine never take food.Yours may not have a routine down like mine being new to his home. I'd not attempt to feed him for a while and make sure your substrate in moist. You can see in my video it takes lots of water weekly. No humidity gauge will help you out there...ive been down that road and they don't work. You'll get a eye for the moisture over time. I don't water too close to the burrow....that way they can dig down the the moisture level they need.</blockquote>
