[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 52440, member: 4086"] So how's she doing? You don't need cork bark or anything else, Avics web to the enclosure, every one of mine does anyway, I just give them a plastic plant for anchor points. Cork bark won't hurt but I've tried it and none of mine were interested in it. Also, occasional misting or flooding won't hurt, just do it very rarely, and as people have said, ventilation is the key to avics being in good health. I have two avics that fast almost as bad as some terrestrial species, don't worry, if they're hungry they'll eat. She may be having trouble from the trauma, be in premolt, or just not like the prey item...try half killed, just maim the cricket, or try superworms, my Avics love them, except for one of them. That said, I would have walked away when the idiot flung the spider on the ground. Sometimes you'll find a chain store with decent care for these guys, mostly you'll find arachnophobic dummies like that. Then again, you'll be the best bet for helping that spider live, so just don't stress on it, do what you can for the spider and take comfort in your efforts on it's behalf. It's too bad you have to start with an early experience like this, don't let it get you down. Avics are tougher then people give them credit for. [/QUOTE]
