I'm having the same problem with a young hypo. All my others, including two young ones like the hypo, eat everything in sight. I drop f/t in their enclosure and it's pounced on; all except the hypo. She will eat a f/t fuzzy very occasionally, but it's very rare. She'll gladly eat live, every time. She'll usually take the f/t once between sheds, I'll keep trying. I've been holding off on the live since I don't want to get into that scene and will continue with the f/t. I'm thinking about brumating her with all my adults in the next few weeks. Hopefully she'll come out of it real hungry and resolve the problem. This has worked before, so I'm going to try it again. Good luck with your hypo, I'm sure it will work out.
