Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tschorm" data-source="post: 160463" data-attributes="member: 29362">Hy Tschorm here again =P Another question, this time because off a Poecilotherica Metallica, got a nice set up with a big branch and a nice vertical corkbarktube for her to hide in, what she does! But I have big time trouble feeding her because those dawn crickets wont go in there on there own, and if I try to push them there with a brush or tongs that the spider can get them she gets spooked and runs deeper into the hide, has anybody a good tip for my, how to get her to eat? I tried leaving the crickets in there for longer but most off the time I find them dead in a corner a day or two later. I mean she is not starved out at the moment, could just be that she isnt hungry at all but she is allways sitting at the top off her hide with her legs outside like she wants to grab the next best thing that walks by, thanks in advance =)</blockquote>
