[QUOTE="Ben10101, post: 328936, member: 10765"] There are a few things you can look at to tell if its in pre-molt: If they have wing buds, then the wing buds appear to be thicker during pre-molt period. They lose apatite. Their abdomen also will appear to be decently plump even though it didn't eat for a few days. If it fits some of these signs then I suggest leave it alone in the mean time~😁👍 edit: also, 4 weeks sounds about like a molt is due soon, haven't kept ghosts yet, but for my others a molting cycle takes about that amount of time (or less).
