Message: <blockquote data-quote="Konstantin" data-source="post: 201449" data-attributes="member: 30996">Hihow much they grow per moult is very individual spider specific and the conditions they are kept in.It may take days or weeks(months) till it moults there is nothing out of the ordinary and is completely normal for them to be more sluggish and reclusive before they do.Make sure there is always water available and don't worry about feeding and your tarantula refusing food. At nearly 4 inch you should wait at least 2 weeks before feeding after it moults to make sure its fangs have hardened fully .I have spiders less than an inch that go in hiding and refuse food for 3- 6 months at a time.Its normal for them to do that.Regards Konstantin</blockquote>
