I'm n expert but I think he's having to deal with too much. You've only had him a couple of days, leave him be. Why are you handling him in order to feed him? Have you tried him with some worms or even cockroaches? I just shove the food in and leave them to it. He's not going to want to feed if he's totally stressed out and after only being with you for 2 days I reckon he's stressed.The heat mat is outside the viv right? The water bowl isn't deep enough for him to drown in?

I have only taken him out once to try and feed him because I though whites couldn't hunt when they are young. His heat mat is outside of the viv and the water is below his mouth so he can't drown. Im not too worried that he hasn't eaten yet BUT the smaller crickets won't arrive until monday, he hasn't eaten since thurday. HOW LONG DO WHITS LIVE WIHTOUT FOOD? please lemme know, I will try to leave him alone a bit for a couple days and see if bees up to scratch.

thanks man

can't you go out to pets at home or some place to get the size you require?Or get locusts? My whites were only the size of my fingernail when I got them and I just chucked a load of locusts in and left them to it. Re them not being able to hunt when small. How the heck do they survive in the wild if they cannot hunt?
