Posted in wrong spot first time.
I got a WC Male deremensis that has been in captivity for about a year and has been dewormed and checked for parasites. (All clear)
My problem is that I got him last Tuesday and he ate 2 crickets that day but has not eaten anything since. So its been 4 days since he has eaten. He drinks ALOT everyday so that is good.
But I was wondering if this is normal or should I be concerned?
