Hi all! First time poster here. I have a T. vagans sling that I got back in November. It molted on Feb. 2 of this year, and I waited about 6 days before I fed it for the first time after the molt. Since that time, for about a month, I fed it regularly (about once every 4 or 5 days) and it would eat the cricket as soon as I dropped it into the enclosure. However, for the past 10-14 days, I've attempted 3 times to feed it, and it has refused the food every single time (one of those times I even severed the head from the cricket, thinking maybe it wanted pre-killed food). Now I'm wondering a) is it already displaying pre-molt behavior so soon after its last molt? And b) what's the best way to remove the food without stressing the spider out? I'm not very experienced in having to remove the food, and I am unsure of the least stressful method of removal. Any and all advice is welcome, this is my first T!
