not eating

Hello, We have had a Mexican red-knee tarantula (our first T) for about 3 years since it was a sling, we think it is a female based on (our amateur level of) checking after a molt. It was molting 1-2 times a year, but hasn't molted now for far more than a year and its abdomen has been steadily...

New to keeping tarantulas! And I'm in a bit of a pickle! A long time friend called me up. She works at a homeless shelter. A homeless man came in to stay and had two tarantulas. He was told he could not keep them there and would have to re-home them or throw them out if a home was not available...

Hey, guys.I know, I know...tarantulas stop eating sometimes and that's OKAY. Bear with me. Shelob is my first and only tarantula and I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. The week I brought her home she had a mealworm, the second week she had a cricket. She has been refusing food for...

Hi guys, I'm a bit worried at the moment. My Tarantula has not been eating for approx. 8 months now, at first I thought maybe she was fasting, but now 8 months... About a month ago I gave her a roach, at first she didn't do nothing, after she went slowly on the roach, (he was playing dead) and...

My tarantula, Doris, shed her skin nearly a fortnight a go. After a week she normally eats many locusts for a few weeks to catch up on missed food. It has been unusual for her not to eat anything this last week and after reading a post about fangs I've just had close look and her old skin...

Hi guys, about 3 weeks or 4 weeks ago i changed my enclosure for my T, bought one EXOTERRA. My T is still acting clumsy, like climbing with the top (mesh) of my enclosure, or sticking to a side, altough she also spends time on the ground as well. She is a chaco golden knee, and she also layed a...

Hi guys, I'm a bit worried, because my T (chaco golden knee) got into ger hide on 31st December (New year's Eve) and hasn't got out since then. She is not even drinking. She stopped eating at around last September/October I think. She covered her entrance with web, as if she's saying I don't...

So I have recently purchased two G. pulchra slings and they arrived one week ago. I have never owned tarantulas before so I am new to this. Anyways, one of them has already eaten two mealworms but one of my slings just won't eat. Does it still need time to adjust to the new environment. I really...

Hello everyone! I’m new to the forum so please leave any comments if I am doing anything wrong. I purchased a Curly hair Tarantula sling around the beginning of January, I have fed her twice since then with two Blatta Lateralis (Turk Roaches), she ate perfectly both times, after that she...

So my Chaco Golden Knee was bought by us with 2 missing legs but we didn't notice until recently. After calling the petstore, they assures us the legs would grow back after a couple of molts, usable buy smaller. I believed that and other owners saying it was no big deal, but I recently went to...

I have a 6 year old Chilean Rose Hair named Elise. I'm a textbook overthinker so I may be worried for nothing but I'd like another opinion. She has recently stopped eating, has spread a thick layer of web along the entire surface area of the substrate in her enclosure, and has been picking up...

Last time my T ate was 16 days ago. Before that, it went for a whole month without food. Its abdomen seems fine, I don't think it has lost weight. I mean I know it's normal but since it's my first and only T I don't have much personal experience. Also, he/she's a huuge hair kicker. Like, it's...

Hi my names Tom. I'm new to all this Tarantula stuff and was wondering you guys could help me out. I recently purchased my Chilean rose hair last friday 6th october and I'm not sure how old she is? I've attached some photos so you can all see. Also, I don't know if her/his enclosure is to big...

Hi everyone ! :) As a big fan of spiders, I purchased my first one (GBB sling) on spiderworld.eu But here's my source of worries. When she arrived, she was already in premolt and then she molted the following day (sunday). The thing is that we're thursday and she's still not webbing around...

I have two Rose Hairs, one male close to adult or possibly already there, and one adult female aged about 8 years. Neither of them have eaten in months, probably around 3 or 4. I dont think the female is going to molt, she doesnt seem darker or anything, and the male molted in October of last...
