Message: <blockquote data-quote="MrsP" data-source="post: 194679" data-attributes="member: 37242">I'm new to this forum, I've got some questions about my new tarantula but I've had many negative responses to questions in other places.  I've had spiders in the past but as my son said we just looked after them back then as we hadn't got a clue  and they thrived without us really doing much.  It was many years ago but now I'm getting stressed about Steve.I got his setup sorted, the temperature and humidity are fine, but when he arrived around four weeks ago, he just strolled into the hide, and I've not seen him since.  I've put crickets in, he's been out of his hide as there is a hole where he hid, but I still haven't seen him.  He's been here for almost four weeks. I don't think I need to be worrying yet, but I would appreciate any helpful advice. As I said I've had negative comments on other places, I don't need any more. All I'm asking for is sensible advice.</blockquote>
