At this point you could trying offering it some food. If it doesn't eat in 12 to 24 hours, remove the prey and try again in a couple of days.

Don't be alarmed though if it doesn't eat for a while. G. roseas often go months without eating. Make sure you always have a full water dish for it to drink from though.

Are you s'posed to wait a while before feeding new Ts? I've always fed mine as soon as they're housed, and they have taken the prey within the hour too. My avic juvi clocked the joint, saw a locust, sprinted round the glass and bagged it, all within about 30 seconds of being let out in his new pad!
