My L. Parahybana male molted about 3 weeks ago. So this past weekend (Saturday) I rehoused him in a nice big enclosure, roughly 6 times larger than his previous one. He hasn't eaten since the molt. He just sits against the side of his enclosure in the one corner above the water bowl. He hasn't even made an attempt to move into his new hide.

I should mention that it has gotten quite cold since its the start of winter, my room is at a steady 24'C during the day, drops to I guess 20'C during the night. I haven't connected my heat pad yet for this winter.

I'm not sure if it is temperature that is causing this, all my Ts are kept within 1m of each other so their enclosure temps should be the same. Even my new slings are eating like crazy despite the temperature? I'm thinking the poor guy is just suffering from shell shock after being rehoused to such a large enclosure?

Have you guys got any advise for me? I don't want to loose the little guy, he just started showing off his pink hairs!

how big is he?
i do not think the temp. is a problem, my parents is building our house over and in the progress my sealing is removed, my room temp. is 16*cel on the moment.i would say the little guy is just a little stressed from the moving.

He is about 8cm.

Should he have settled in by now? He has been in there for 4 days now and hasn't moved.

i believe he should have settled now, if you tap on the tank does it move?

Nope, he moved about an hour after I tapped, but only about 10cm. Then later he was back in the same spot. Still there now.

I had a mature Avicularia avicularia that sat in one place for 3 months after a rehousing. Eventually it started to web and lived happily ever after

If the temperatures and humidity are what it should be, I'd relax if it was my T (IMO).
