I have a female double shield, she's still a nymph. She molted about 3-4 days ago. Probably 12 hours after molting she fell from the side of her enclosure about 3 inches or so. She seemed fine, climbed right back up. But she's refusing food, there's nothing wrong with her front claws since she swats away anything I offer her, and she can see because she reaches out for my hand. Her abdomen looks pretty thin but it's like she has no interest in food at all. She's acting normal otherwise. I'm worried because she is so small. I offered her both fruit flies and small flies, both were rejected. What should I do?
