As the title implies, my B. smithi hasn't eaten since June-ish of 2019 and while I know there's a limit to what I can do, I would love any ideas or suggestions. She (not sure, but that's what I call her) is about 10 years old, and I've had her for 9 years (since she was smaller than a quarter). She had a very consistent once-a-year molting schedule until August 2017, which was her last one. I've always fed her crickets and never had a problem until this fast. A couple of months ago I tried some roaches and superworms just in case it was the crickets that stopped her eating, but she didn't touch anything. I know tarantulas will go on fasts, which is why I haven't been concerned most of this time, but now it's been long enough I wanted to see what other people thought. She looks completely healthy, still drinks and moves around regularly, and if I didn't track her food intake, I probably wouldn't notice anything. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
