Message: <blockquote data-quote="helenaoskars" data-source="post: 226058" data-attributes="member: 42709">I have plenty. Here are a few: 1) How do I know when it’s in premolt? My last spider rarely molted.. 2) I fed the “shy” tarantula a cricket yesterday at approx. 5PM yesterday. It is 2PM the next day now, and the cricket is alive and healthy in there. When do I take it out? (For reference, the active one pounced its cricket within a second.) 3) The cave the shy one made appears to be almost completely closed, I cannot see into it. Does this mean molting? How long can I expect it to stay this way? 4) My spiders are about 3.5 cm now. Should I find other sources of food than crickets? I have so much to learn about owning something other than an adult tarantula…</blockquote>
