[QUOTE="GarField000, post: 227082, member: 30890"] The Avi enclosure is good. But they do need to get comfortable in their new home. That can take some time. I always use round cork so they can hide INside it. Maybe you can place it in the corner and put some dark paper on the outside so she feels more secure. slow movement also may mean about to molt. Just let her get use to the enclosure and don't feed every day. Just wait a few days and see from there. Bolt does not necasary mean ready to molt. Same as the avic, just let her get comfy. Common names can be mixed as some have the same. Giant Mexican Red Knee = B.smithi This was later renamed B.hamorii as this was the one we had in the hobby. The Brachypelma annitha is now the B.smithi Don't stress to much ... they will be ok. Just try to feed them once a week or so and see if they will eat. I have a few spiders that never eat straight away when you offer. But 15 min. later they took the food. THey never tongfeed.[I][B][/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
