Do you think you could find anything that flies? Maybe some blue bottle flies or butterflies? Moths? Locust? etc and so forth.

My guys/gals love anything with wings as it gives them some extra challenge when hunting.

it depends on the animal. sometimes a few weeks
yours ate a mouse, so maybe its not hungry.
make sure it has plenty of water. dehydration can cause lack of appetite. As can other poor husbandry /environmental factors.

You might want to provide answers to all the questions in the how to ask for help sticky.

When I got my Sambava Lenny from another forum member he did not eat for 11 days. I am not sure if it was really a hunger strike and being tired of food cause he just flat out refused to eat! The previous owner only fed crickets and I tried all different feeders on him What I am saying is he went almost two weeks, so they can go awhile if they are and adult and of a decent weight I would think.
