[QUOTE="River Dane, post: 320897, member: 10104"] It’s hard to tell from the picture, but it looks quite plump, so I don’t think you need to worry much about it not eating. I once had an S. vitis go two weeks without food, and she survived just fine. You should note it’s behavior, though. Is it still active and curious? If it’s lethargic then it might be nearing the end of its lifespan, at which point there isn’t much you can do. I would suggest waiting two or three days before trying to feed again. They certainly don’t need to eat everyday, just feed it whenever the abdomen looks flat. [/QUOTE]
