Hi fellow "T" owners!

My versicolor molted about 3 weeks ago. She didn't eat for weeks before because she was in pre-molt and now she has not eaten since the post-molt. Whenever I try and feed her she actually flicks the cricket or meal worm out of her web. It's funny to watch but why won't she eat? She must be hungry?

Sincerely,
Concerned Parent

6 weeks is nothing, unless there's something unusual like @Thistles mentioned about her fangs and mouth or abdomen, she'll eat when she's ready. Last time my versicolor molted it didn't eat for 5 weeks total at just over an inch dls.
