[QUOTE="ilovebrachys, post: 181301, member: 28710"] Although the enclosure is large it's not the worst for Avics - the mesh lid is fine so don't worry about that - usually as [USER=33763]@18ebolling[/USER] has mentioned cross ventilation is paramount with Avics but a lot of members use all glass enclosures with no problem providing they have a full mesh lid to ensure they are getting enough ventilation The main issue is your enclosure set up- it's all wrong as it's for a terrestrial (ground dwelling) tarantula, Avicularia are an arboreal (tree dwelling) species You need vertical cork bark hides and plenty of plants (plastic ones are fine) so that the tarantula will have hiding places and feel safe and secure also make sure it has a water dish at all times If you look through the Avicularia section on this forum you will find pictures of how others have set up there enclosures :) When it's set up is improved I'm sure you will find that it will eat as its too stressed at the moment to do so Hope that helps :) [/QUOTE]
