I'm actually giving it prey a little bit smaller than its abdomen, just little pinhead crickets. I work at a petstore and I try to snag up one or two to take home to it now and then. I got a second opinion before I came and read your response, and he basically said the same thing, it's just...
It's been awhile since my last update, my Brachy is doing well, hasn't molted yet but it refuses to eat. It runs the other direction from its food whenever I present it; my logical side is telling me it's okay tarantulas do this, it'll eat when it's ready.
But another part of me is nagging that...
Awh.
And thank you <3 I think my Brachy is in premolt. For the past two days it's refused to eat and it's gotten a bit darker than its usual light brown. Yesterday I got it a cricket and I was worried it didn't want to eat it cause it was a little on the big side, so I got the perfect sized...
@Nicolas C I was sad that it died, it was my boyfriends and I's little baby lol. I'll probably try again with Avicularia's down the line, and it'll either be a juvi or an adult.
@kormath it's actually digging a little bit of a hole right now! It's been sprawling out and digging here and there...
I put a water dish in there, hopefully it's not too big.
It's light brown and very tiny. I saw its little fangs pressed up against the deli cup when I was bringing it home, and it was so cute. They were so tinyyyy
It's a sling, it was the last one he had.
And I'll send some pictures soon! I wanna let it adjust a little bit before I go and bother it haha.
I name all my animals, it's okay lol. Right now it's hiding under a little leaf I put in with it, just to make it a little more cozy.
Thank you <3
It's quite alright, the animal lover in me had the right intentions, but I did it wrong. I won't let this incident bring me down; they are really cool. I always had a soft spot for pink toes lol
It's okay. I thought I could save this guy from the damage theyve done, but I was too late.
I've learned a lesson in this, and next time I'll be getting a T from a good breeder that I know has good animals, and I trust him
Yeah...it does. I guess I was trying to comince myself otherwise. And no, it doesn't move. I guess it's time I called it quits and this little guy, huh?
I know, I was gonna move it into something better, but I disn't want to bother it in case it's gonna molt :/
And I kind of figured it was bad. I was gonna make an ICU for it and hope for the best while I set up a new little house for it
