when it is down 14% of its origanl body wieght i would start to worry till then just try differnet things. like get a live one kill it and try feeding it to right after but if you find it all nesasary (dout if it will come to this) try a live food item but watch them at all times.

another question so its never ate for u?
and did u get it off someone u know so its not WC?
