I have my hamorii that still seems to not want to eat as regularly as some of my other tarantulas. My first T was a hammori and she would burrow and disappear, eat once in a blue moon and they are still fine. My sub adult (Salem), I think the last time that she ate was sometime early December/late November she is and I swear she gives me a run for my money. I want her to molt (still hasn’t since I got her) to see if one of her limbs comes back.  I have a few brachys slings and the burrow and I never really see. As long as the food disappears (even when it doesn’t- don’t worry too much). One of the biggest thing I can suggest is watch a lot of videos! It’s common what you are experiencing. It’s another reason why I made sure all my enclosures are clear, are not insanely big that you can lose track of your T and easier to monitor. I have attached a few pics. Cordelia the sling, was my FIRST, I originally had her in too big of an enclosure and rehoused her. Sometimes that is what I do if I’m concerned. How big was she when the last time you saw her and do you have pics of her enclosure? I have attached some of my Brachys to show you what I’m doing and it helps with my concerns.</p></blockquote><p></p>
