Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jake (Cascade)" data-source="post: 24286" data-attributes="member: 2407">I would also like to see it up close but you a bit far for me, maybe you can take a close up of the piece if you decide to cut it off. How many crickets did you feed her?Do you feed her off the tweezers or just drop the prey item inside the enclosure?Maybe you can do a test, try feeding the spider where she "hang" the bolus, trying to push the spider to do the same thing, if the spider did this twice maybe it is able to reproduce this again.All you need to do is cut the webbing to the entrance of the tunnel and tweezers the prey item into the "feeding area" as to encourage her to eat it in the "hanging bay"!Another thought, it might just be the spider storing the meal to eat it later?1.How long has it been hanging for though? 2.Do you always feed her on crickets?3.And how does the other bolus's look that are dumped on the ground(if you can take a picture)?</blockquote>
