Attacus atlas larvae not eating

    Hello,

    I recently purchased my first Lepidoptera eggs, they are Attacus atlas.
    One of the eggs has hatched and the the larva ate its eggshell. I have placed it in a glass jar with netting instead of a lid on top. I have placed it in a terrarium which is around 27 degrees with a humidity of aound 70% and in the glass jar probably higher (there is condense). I have placed a few prived branches in the jar for it to eat, but he just kept wondering around and climbed on the branches and wasn't eating. Now he sits curled up on the side of a leaf.

    Is something wrong with the caterpillar? Or is this normal?

    Thanks in advance.

    hello,

    it is better to let drink the small caterpillars immediately after the slip first of once something. For it spray best of all quite well.
    Afterwards, with some leaves of the forage crop which give caterpillars in a small closed vessel and put darkly.

    Then after from 1 to 2 days they should eat.

    Nice greetings
