Eating strike

[KingJulian]

I have had my 1.3 year old male ambilobe for 4 months now and he has been eating fine everyday...just recently he has went on an eating strike not eating anything I offer him (Dubias, Crickets, or Supers) He has eaten only one super in the past 4.5 days. He recently just shed his tail but the shed stopped right where the tail meets the body, it still looks like hes gonna shed his body part though. I know they can go days without eating but im thinking about getting hornworms to try to coax him back into eating. Any thoughts or ideas?

Most will stop eating as much as they get older. I usually feed my males every other day from around 9 months old. You could try not offering any food or showing him any for a few days then giving him something and see if he eats it.
