[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 128922, member: 27677"] I just checked the rubiseta, it has eaten 3 small crickets and 2 smaller medium crickets by the looks, no problem hunting in the bigger tank at all. I overflowed the water dish, it was still full, and sprayed because the top inch or so of the substrate was still very dry. I need to add more water to the false bottom, it didn't suck up as far as I thought, but better to need to add more than have the tank too wet. Natural instincts would cause the tarantula to burrow for moisture so it would have found the moisture if it was too dry in the tank. Anyway, when I sprayed it was startled and ran to the front of the tank and I could see it's abdomen has filled out to a normal, if skinny size. Tuesday (1.30am Thursday morning now) it looked so skinny I that I thought it might be too far gone to even hunt, but I'm pretty sure it'll be okay now. Phew! [/QUOTE]
