So I've had my 1" Lithobius (Not a giant....but they need love too!) since about February or March. Sometime during the summer(I think June or July), it hasn't been eating...at least not alot. I remember one time in August I placed a cricket in there. He chased it down, but when he ripped one of the hind legs off, he nibbled on that for a bit and completely ignored the cricket. I dropped in a cricket the other night, and I don't see it, but Henry(my pede) doesn't look as plump as he did before. Does anybody have any idea what is going on with him? He's still very alert and cruises around his cup in the evenings, so I don't think he's dying...but pedes aren't my specialty so I could be completely wrong.

Upcoming molt? Maybe Henry's a Henrietta/pregnant? Not hungry? Near the end of its' life? Making the next evolutionary step?

If you remove the question marks you will have phrased statements. Good luck.
