The Firelegged is doing fine. But the Pink Toe...3 inches long. She built a strong web cave on a top corner of the Arboreal Terrarium. She didn't eat for at lest 3 weeks. She molted. She didn't eat for another 3 or 4 weeks. I moved her to a smaller Terrarium to make the hunting easier (as advised from another forum). I kept offering small crickets. She/he (I never knew her gender, name was Shadow) didn't bother to hunt. A week later in the new smaller Terrarium she died.What could I have done differently?I am getting another Tarantula, I don't want to make the same mistake. I appreciate any help. Thanks!</blockquote>
