Some of my tarantulas won't take e.g. a roach but will take a worm, and visa versa. And some will take prey the size of their abdomen, but some prefer smaller prey. - Definitely get the tarantula it's own enclosure with fresh substrate to dig in as soon as you can. If it can get settled into a home it can make its own it might be more likely to eat. - I am glad to hear it has been drinking a bit, hopefully it will drink more soon so please make sure the water bowl remains topped up.</blockquote>
