Happy owner today.
As with probably a lot of new keepers on here , i panic if they dont take their feed for no apparent reason.
My little fella , Sid, had refused his last two feeds and lost a couple of grams in weight.
Put him in his plastic clear container that i use to feed him in today but he was not interested.
Brained the pinks, still not interested. Had a sniff and went in the opposite direction.
Decided to leave him in there with the two pinks and cover him over with a towel. Left him for about 40 minutes.
Went back to have a look under the towel and bingo, both pinks had been eaten.
Panic over. I know they can go a while without eating but he has never had any problems since ive had him and he only weights 20g as it is so dont want him to loose anymore.
Anyway pleased he ate today : )

So pleased he ate for you.
It might be worth feeding him like that each time for a few feeds until he's established a good feeding routine again!  |

Always a worry when they seem uninterested in eating congrats on sid enjoying his meal
Midas has always been a good eater so far. Only twice has he not reacted to his food and its normally after a shed, I dont feed him in blue as he hides away the whole time so sometimes his feed is up to 6 days later than normal.
Never had to brain his food yet a little play with his food moving it along with the tongs has always made him interested he seems to react to the thrill of the hunt and his natural instincts kick in  |
