Well there is always that possibility of a tarantula with a large abdomen falling and hurting itself, but that tends to happen more with terrestrial and even then people don't really worry too much about it.Thanks for the clarification Chubbs. I guess that means my little one is probably one moult away from the juvenile stage, which is sort of a relief. Have you ever heard of any health issues or moulting issues associated with "power feeding"? I know it can shorten their life span, so should not be a long term method, but are there any possible risks in the short term, say a couple of months or until they get a bit larger?
What species again? I haven't really been keeping up with this thread lately [emoji14] Has it molted yet in your care? If not, the excess webbing leads me to believe it's probably about to.I was wondering the same thing as well. I fed my sling twice last week and this week it's showing no interest in feeding. The T usually roams around to look for food. Instead, the spider has been hanging out on the web it built.
Just take the cricket out, the spider will reweb.Avicularia versicolor. It hasn't molted yet in my care. Today I tried to drop a cricket in and the T is showing no interest in feeding. Any tips on getting the cricket out without damaging the webbing?
