My N. Wennerae molted for the first time about a week and a half ago, and hasn't eaten anything since.
I've tried every type of food I had on hand, but no luck.
Is this normal?
 
It’s pretty normal for them to stop eating prior to molting and up to a couple weeks after. Don’t panic…
 
It'll come around keep trying but don't force it.

N. wennerae will also eat amphipods so it will likely always have a source of food in there for when it'd ready.
