My 4" leg span green bottle blue moulted on the 16th and still refuses to eat, this is most unlike both this T and the species in my experiance, any ideas whats going on? I have tried it on crickets, hoppers and wax worms to no effect. As far as I can see the fangs are fine but in case I am missing something what should I be looking for to tell if they are damaged?

Thats what i keep telling her. I looked it over when i got in tonight, and i can't see anything wrong with it at all. Sure it's a bit thin, but it only moulted 8 days ago, so that's to be expected.And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it.

Originally posted by sarah.sI know it looks fine but Its just not normal for a green bottle blue to refuse food like it has been and I a bit paranoid cause of the purpura not eatting and dying.

Hi Sarah,
My GBB moulted a few months back and was approximately 4" or so prior to the moult, she took around 2-3 weeks before restarting feeding, I did offer food prior to that but to no avail.
As the others have said, if she's fine, then she just needs a while longer.
Hope this helps!

Nods yeah it does help thanks huk. I just got a bit panicky as it was not her normal way of being post moult, and as I said before I just lost a purpra to not eatting. and my little lady was 3" before her moult she now has a 4" legspan. I guess she is doing the change to adult appitie now insteed of when she matures the little git. Why oh why do I always get the little git types?
