I will say that they can fast for awhile. She has refused food for about 6 months now, it's common for this species maybe not that long, but they do refuse food occasionally. She is the tarantula I show people especially for people getting into the hobby or are trying to get over their fears of spiders. She is my most well behaved and has never given a threat pose. She will however barely move in her enclosure, she'll sometimes only move to eat, drink water which I have seen her do, or getting ready to molt. A great beginner species, they can be active at times but can act like pet rocks as well. If you are looking for a very active tarantula that is known for being a well behaved species from other T enthusiasts I would recommend a Curly hair  or Mexican red knee, both are very popular and roughly get the same size they do flick hairs but overall my experience with them have been awesome. they are consistently moving around in their cage, digging, moving the decor around a lot and their appetites are great mine have never refused food except during pre-molt . A green bottle blue would be a stretch they can be a little skittish, but with practice and patience comes a great reward their colors are beyond beautiful. Very very active species they love to Web up their enclosures and holy cow can they eat!! Their feeding response is ridiculously fast. And these are just a few of what I actually have and experienced. There are many great T's that are in your interests.</p></blockquote><p></p>
