Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tomoran" data-source="post: 201284" data-attributes="member: 1152"><p>When my old female was a sling, she wouldn't come down to hunt on the ground. I had her in one of the Amac boxes, and I would take the cap off, lay it on its side, and place a maimed red rubber nymph at the mouth of her web tube. She would usually run out to get it. After a while, she would actually be waiting at the mouth of the web for food when I flipped the lid over. It was quite cute. She eventually extended her web more towards the bottom of the dirt and started hunting the ones on the ground. Her daughter also did the same thing for a while. I just mention this because there are cases where they won't come down to hunt and need the food brought to them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
