Message: <blockquote data-quote="Huntzman90" data-source="post: 159115" data-attributes="member: 29032">My B. Albo did the same thing after just a week of refusing food then just last night I found it wandering around the enclosure. It gladly took a small dubia roach. My albo is about 1.5" - 2" and feeds like there is no tomorrow. In fact its a little on the heavy side so may have to skip another week of feeding. I always leave him/her when it decides to block off its hide entrance. I figured it should be getting ready to molt. Also, tarantulas can go a long time without feeding.. Though they are most deffinitely opportunistic feeders. My B. Albo and my Cyriocosmus Aueri both have never gone more than a week without feeding even when theyre abdomens are quite large, where my Caribena Laeta will always refuse a dubia if its not hungry and has gone up to 3 months refusing food. Heres a picture of my Albo's hide after it closed it off.. Can even see some its legs from its last molt in the substrate <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />[ATTACH=full]40616[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
