We're sorry to hear that your starter has hit a bit of a slump! We'd suggest feeding the starter with whole wheat flour next time to see if that helps spike some activity! Rye or another whole grain flour will work here too if you don't have whole wheat on hand. If that doesn't seem to help any, you can try feeding the starter every 24 hours rather than 12 for a couple of days — this should give the starter time to work things out. We hope this helps!
