    Hello

    Try killing the cricket, cutting it in half and putting half of it in front of the sling, a lot of the times when their babies like that they will scavenge. Just an idea. Good luck and take care.

    In my opinion you should wait, any stress at all could cause a bad molt, once it has molted and recovered enough to eat afterwards, then think about changing things. Just my opinion only. Good luck.

Sometimes they act weird like that when they're stressed out or they do not like their enclosure. Just an idea, not positive at all. But after 43 years of raising tarantulas, I've seen this a...

    Fossorial Advice

    I'm not sure if it's condensation or if it's webbing? But I never ventilate the bottom of my fossorial cages, my favorite tarantulas are the king baboon, I've had them for many years and I'm well experienced with the fossorial tarantulas. If there is condensation it means that cool air is...

    Tarantula buried for more than 7 months
