[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 160880, member: 27444"] I feed my Brachypelmas every three weeks for this reason. I hardly ever see them fast or refuse food anymore. If they do I know that a molt is coming up. Dont ever think its cruel not to feed your spiders weekly. They are built to go long periods without food. In the wild it may sit at its burrow entrance for months waiting for a meal. Over the years of raising tarantulas I find the longer I wait to feed them the healthier they are. The fasting and refusing food is a thing of the past for me. Alot of new hobbiest feed their spiders constantly trying to get them to grow faster. This leads to forums packed with threads about why my spider wont eat. Spiders are optimistic eaters...of coarse their going to eat if their not stuffed yet. Try the slow feeding method and see if it helps out. Dont forget the water though...;) [/QUOTE]
