Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr. P" data-source="post: 130055" data-attributes="member: 27641">I have a B. smithi who hadn't eaten for two months due to premolt. I finally started feeding her last Tuesday and she was good. By Friday she started walking all around the enclosure flailing her legs, she had never done this before so I threw in another cricket which she grabbed and was fine.Well this morning she started doing it again so I threw in a dubia and she grabbed it as soon as it hit the ground. Is this maybe a hunting tactic?She seems fine for a few days as soon as she eats then she starts walking aorund for hours flailing her legs like she is trying to scare up prey. As soon as I throw something in she is good and settles down for a couple of days.Not worried, just seems weird, ideas?</blockquote>
