I would say your colony is too wet. Acros are prone to stop eating when there is too much water. Bearing in mond too much water is different from too high a relative humidity. Water forms when the air is too saturated and the water condenses. So it should be possible to reduce the water and not the humidity and your Acros will start taking leaves again. Its a guaranteed sign when they take orange peel and not grape.Magic wrote: Also if any one know what is the reason they cover grape with stuff ? ( picture 2 )
