I found a giant Huntsman. What do I do

[InternetSwag]

I was cleaning my garage and found a giant Huntsman lying on the floor with some ants on him. Thought he was dead. His abdomen was so small. But his leg span is huge. I prodded him a bit and he started moving.

I think he might be dying.

Is there any way for me to feed or help him?

You can try cupping him and putting him on some damp tissues/paper towel - he may just be dehydrated? Just a guess

I agree with @ilovebrachys because that's what I would do. Find a large enough container that he will have room in (so as not to stress him out more in a confined space) and place some damp paper towels in it. Lid it off (make sure it is ventilated) and put him in a dark area (closet). Check on him once or twice a day (so as not to stress him to much). Once he has his energy back, let him go on a tree. I think he would camouflage great with tree bark.

Thanks guys. I did put him in a container with damp paper towel as suggested and put in a cut in half mealworm.
I didn't see him drink or eat, but when I checked back this morning some of the mealworm was eaten and huntsman looks a lot more mobile. not sure how he ended up in his predicament
Im gonna keep him for a day and monitor.

Does he look like he may be leaking fluid anywhere? If so, I'd use baking soda to stop the leak. Super glue works, too but I like baking soda better. I mainly use super glue for the larger areas that don't stop bleeding as quickly when you use baking soda.
