ok, so i bought a baby chaco golden knee yesterday afternoon. all i have done so far is feed it one cricket last night. since then it has been very still. it is barely able to keep itself on its feet. even when i touch the back of its abdomen or the hind leg it doesnt even move. when it moves its abdomen is dragging on the ground. please help me. i dont know what to do. i think it is dying!!!!!

Tarantulas are not very active naturally. Is the abdomen well rounded and not wrinkled? Are the legs of the tarantula curling under? Pics can help.
