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
