[QUOTE="beebhabie, post: 230451, member: 35491"] As title reads.. My Aphonopelma chalcodes hasn’t eaten in over a year. It’s been probably a year and a half at this point. I have tried superworms, mealworms, dubia roaches. She simply swats them away and refuses to eat. I know this species can be like this, so I wouldn’t be (and previously was not) worried had she not also be visibly shrinking away. I’ve had her maybe 3 years total and she has not eaten much during that entire course of time. I would say, in the past, she would eat less than monthly as is - although I would of course offer food to her more often than that. She was MUCH bigger when I first got her. Her abdomen is tiny now.. Any thoughts, advice, experience on this would be much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
