    That would be incredibly awesome. I can probably get my red eye on those roaches too. Can the glass bowl trick work or they can climb that also? Also, if I try a pinky this week do I dangle it in his face or just leave it a container with him?

    Edit: nvm, started doing some reading. They can climb glass lol.

    With all that moss in his enclosure you probably don't want to feed him in there. Huge impaction risk. If you don't use a glass bowl. Whit's are voratious eaters and can accidentally eat some moss. If you have found no poop you may try a warm Honey soak. You can also try a warm Pedialyte bath. Just be sure its Unflavored Pedialyte. Its a 10 to 1 ratio so 1oz Pedialyte for every 10oz of water. 15 to 20 minute duration.

    Yeah I have been strictly feeding in glass bowls/separate containers because I do like using moss for moisture retention. I'm sure no moss has been ingested because I only feed in the bowl or container. I'll try the honey soak tonight. I just recently bought a bottle of honey.

    Mine stopped eating again too, I am at my wits end though. Hes been going on this down ward spiral since December of last year. I spent over 800.00 on vet bills for them to tell me the next step would be surgery! I am not doing that to him, I don't know whats up with mine either. All I keep hearing is its his age, might be time to go stuff!!!

    I'm sorry to hear Blue. Well hey 15 years is a good run, he was loved and cared for, for 15 solid years. You should be happy and proud of that I'll be hoping for the best for little Hetfield though.

    I'm thinking about completely removing the moss tonight and letting a few crickets run freely in the tank, see if it sparks his interest in hunting them.

    I think you are my good luck charm! Hetfield ate a cricket on his own!!!! I had him in a stand alone clear tank with a dusted cricket and waited about 15 mins, it crawled all over him at first them BAM, he got him!!!! Good luck hun!

    awesome! here's to hoping the luck continues. My little guy/gal woke up while I was removing the moss from the tank just staring at me lol. I now have 3 crickets running around in the viv and 3 in a small bowl so I'm hoping something will get eaten tonight. *crossing my fingers*
