    It eat, but the male hardly attempts at trying to get the food. He like tries to nip at the food, I wave the food around him, etc, but he will not leave his burrow. I have tried putting him in a different tank just for feeding with no success. He has eaten around 3 though.

    Keep trying. Hopefully he will come around. Have you tried a warm de-chlorinated Honey soak? If not you may want to. it will give him a boost of energy. Juat add 4 drops of honey to a luke warm de-chlorinated soak. Water should be no deeper than up to his chin or less.

    Okay, thanks! Gonna also buy a large to medium heat pad because it may be possible that the 1 small heatpad isn't enough for the 20 long.

    Did the honey thing. It didn't change anything sadly.
    But, I recieved my dubia roaches. It went nuts after them. I guess my pixies are picky eaters. Didn't even try going after the nightcrawlers
