Message: <blockquote data-quote="Malcspring" data-source="post: 224018" data-attributes="member: 41265">Hi folks,As a newbie tarantula keeper I have loads of questions, many of which have been answered.Right now my tarantula has not eaten for maybe 2 weeks. I've had it for 10 days and prior to that the guy at the shop said that it was fed maybe 5 or 7 days before that.I've tried feeding it again today with a locust, but it is not interested. I dropped the locust right in front of it, but no joy.I've also recently transferred it to a larger vivarium. I don't know if that has unsettled it?I have a heat mat attached to the rear of the tank and I have created a little den for it.It has burrowed down right next to the heat mat and is right up against it.Being a newbie I don't know what is normal behaviour?Thanks for any hints and info.Malc</blockquote>
