hi,i am very worried about one of my powder blue tinctorius,since last night he has had trouble eating,it will grab a fly with its tongue but sone as it pulls its tongue back intoits mouth it spits the fly back out.I have tried feeding it with un-dusted flies and aphids but the same happens.It was pretty fat util this happened so it shud be ok for another day or so i reckon but im still v-worried.thanks in advance for any help

Ruling out any possible environmental changes to his vivarium, I'm not sure what would cause him to go on a hunger strike. However, I believe if you just make sure that dusted and non-dusted ff's are available at all times, then at least your tinc will be able to eat at it's leisure in case it does go off strike. One question, have you tried springtails? My cobalts just can't resist these things, maybe these can jog his appetite.
Good Luck
