Thank you! :) they are so much fun

Thanks guys, I am certainly resting a lot easier now :)

Thanks guys looks like I acted just in time and I think having her old tank back has really helped too :)

Hi everyone, I thought I'd upload some photos to show how well Matilda is doing now. As you can see her hair has grown back and she is looking much more healthier and her abdomen is not feeling as soft as it did before. I also got her old tank mended and have moved her back into it which I think...

Thanks Phil I appreciate your help and advice and everyone else's on here so very much! It's the first time I've tried coming online with a problem like this and I must say it is very reassuring to hear from people who are very experienced in tarantula keeping, thank you all so much. I am a...

Yes of course! Her legs are outstretched as normal and not curled beneath her so I am not too worried and feel I have caught this at the right time.

Thank you for your reply, hopefully someone will know. She hasn't flicked hairs at me for a few years now so perhaps it was a cricket? Hopefully her hair will grow back. The spot on the under side worried me, I hope it is nothing serious. I do have a vet I can take her to so if no one is sure I...

Hi everyone, I'm very concerned about my tarantula. I have had her for 5 years now and usually she is fine and healthy but I noticed today she has what looks like a bald patch or blister on her abdomen which I have never seen before and as I picked her up out of the tank she was quite limp and...
