Maybee you should try seperating them for a while, just to see if the female isnt maybee stealing all the males food. He may want to eat, but she may not let him. Sometimes its a dominence thing. Seperate them, and when he settles see if he will feed. Good luck.

cheers i might just try that, but even if you put it in his face he wont take it, he used to snap it up like they were going out of fashion.

Are you only offering crickets?
Also, how many hide spots are you allowing them to use?
Some Greens can be a bit sensitive to one another if they are forced to share the same plant/tree. I often found some of mine under rocks in favour of sharing.

there are two hides plenty of branches and two big trees in there but they still both sit in the same one, have been offering crix, hoppers, she will eat anything and he used to but now nothing (that i can see anyway) at all.

they have got u.v lighting (to help make d3) but still cant figure out why he's not eating, the set up is perfect from all the information i found on the net (or the lack of it), and my 1st one is doing just fine, cant understand it

They do not require UV as such, however it does help the plants and in cycle if any bugs manage to stay alive in there longer they will be effectively gut loaded.

You could try offering wax worm, and wax worm moth to the sickly one.

You sure it's a male? if not it could be gravid?..... just a shot in the dark

il give the wax worms a go, pretty sure its a male, and its lost wait around the neck and tail and isnt fat so id say it wasn't gravid
