The bald patch can also be explained because while digging they will often flick their hairs in and around their burrow to lay down protection. Tarantulas do weird things at times and while there are common examples, they often just do what they want to do. I have one that will go a year without eating, and then pick it up like nothing ever happened. And I have others that will eat non stop even just before a molt.</blockquote>
