[QUOTE="Volkswachter, post: 188227, member: 34028"] Added, judging by your picture, the substrate looks bone dry, I'd recommend adding another few inches of substrate, and keeping it a bit damp. As others have said, maybe a few hollow cork bark logs, or cork hides. Also keep in mind that most (maybe all) tarantulas are photophobic, bright lights are not their friends, they don't like it, so this could also be causing stress if you keep your T under bright florescent lighting or anything like that. These are my suggestions, also check the temperature, it looks like a fairly large enclosure for a juvenile, make sure it's not too cold (no idea where you live, I'm in Canada so my Ts need a small space heater near them to keep them at an optimal temp). If none of these things help, then just offer food on a weekly basis, and if your T is hungry, she will eat. [/QUOTE]
