[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 37686, member: 1152"] It's not double molting. How large is your sling? It's quite possible that it either isn't ready to eat yet after the molt or it is fasting. I had two 1/2" slings that fasted from about November of last year until April/May of this year. Like yours, they had molted recently and were on the thinner side when they stopped eating. Although the temperatures are controlled in my tarantula room, they seemed to detect that it was winter outside. Also, as slings these guys would take more than a few days after a molt to accept prey again (most of my Ts that size will accept food after only three days). I'm assuming the molt went okay?
