Why is this in the introductions forum? I am moving it.

It will eat when ready. If it just molted it will eat in a day or two.

What Rick said. Could even be up to a week... so don't worry about it.

make sure there is enough heat for them to dry and recover from the molt ,should eat in 2 days or so

No, it's O.K.! It's the English name for what we call pill bugs or sow bugs or rolly pollies over here.

We call them 'slaters' in Oz. Not too sure about their nutritional value though. They're crustaceans so they must smell nice when they come to a boil
