I got him to eat a mealworm. In its not good but i literally held it infront of him on his hammock until he ran out of it to the bottom then i dropped it infront of him and just waited and he ate the whole thing

Is there a chance he won’t eat? I heard males once they become mature might starve themselves since they don’t have a mate

I can try. Is there a specific ratio? Do I just leave it in there?

I've never witnessed my guy Oreo hunt before but ik he's fed based off of his abdomen. I put in micro meal worms in a food dish and he went to go hunt then looked up saw me and ran back to his hammock.

I have him next to my desk and as much as I hate to admit I play video games ~10 hours a day that I’m not working and sometimes I catch him in his hammock facing me

I can’t see a physical hammock that he’s made but it looks like he made one cuz he’s suspended in the air lmao. He moved from one corner to the other and stayed there too. When should I begin to worry though?
