[QUOTE="venus.chr, post: 227190, member: 43458"] Hello all, I am a first time tarantula owner with a pink toe, I’m not sure of her gender (she hasn’t molted yet) but I’ve been referring to her as a female anyway, and although I can’t be sure until she molts I think she seems more like a female. Anyways, I was feeding her regularly for about a month after I got her and she always ate, but a few weeks ago she started refusing food—she’s pretty young so I thought maybe premolt? However, she hasn’t made a single web in the inclosure. This morning I woke up and checked on her and she’s just chilling on the ground, definitely alive but just chillin down there, is that normal? I’m not sure how long “premolt” lasts, I have been trying to feed her every now and then and she continues to refuse food, she’s not skinny or anything so I’m not super worried, but I have read that avics molt in webs, and she still doesn’t have any! And now, I’m worried about why she’s on the ground, any advice? [/QUOTE]
