This one didn't surprise me too much as it had never thrived. I only ever saw it during rehousing or if I lifted its hide and in the 22 months it was with me it had only reached 1" dls although it seemed to eat well.Second to go 2 days ago and the biggest shock of all was Kourou, my beautiful little Ephebopus cyanognathus, who seemed to be doing really well. It had hidden away in its burrow over the previous couple of days so I thought it was moulting. I began to worry that there was no sign of movement and found it in a death curl.Tonight I went to remove an uneaten cricket, fed yesterday, to find my teeny little Theraphosinae sp. Villa Tunari (Bolivien), Pando, had also died. It hadn't eaten its last 2 feeds and was only around 0.25" dls.RIP my 3 babies.</blockquote>
