my chile rose sling hasnt eaten in almost 3 weeks now, she shed just under 2 weeks ago and ate her shed (i didnt have time to get it out, woke up in the morning and she was bigger with a couple of tiny bits of a shed left in there)

she wont eat because she's scared of any food that moves and yet doesnt noticed anything that doesnt!!

what the hell am i going to do, she can't just not eat

any other suggestions? just ive left dead things in there for 2 days before and she hasnt found it, but that plastic leaf thing might help.

Yeah, I find the leaf helps them stand out more against the substrate, not sure if it helps the T any mind.

What different types of food have you tried?

Try maggots or waxies, they tend not to freak T's out too much.

Rosie's are notorious for fasting.. leave her a week then try again.

My chili went for three weeks without eating and just started again. They are well known for fasting for no apparant reason.
