My Tarantula won't come out

[Grizzly]

I have a pumpkin patch T for about a couple mouth now. I only saw her out like once or twice sense I put her in the cage. It's been a couple weeks sense I saw her eat anything. What should I do.

leave it alone. It's hiding for a reason, could be in premolt or stress if you've been trying to see it. Try dropping in a cricket or whatever you use for prey and see if it's still around tomorrow. If not the T is eating and fine, if the prey is still there it's probably premolt, remove it and wait a few weeks to see if it pushes a molt out.

shoot...I have a small and a large, I catch occasional glimpses of orange, ..
.through the prolific webbing, every once in a while they throw a molt out,
hurts my feelings no end as they are such pretty things. But, they are happy so...guess its all good.

Being new to this.I used to worry so much about my golden knee I used to see him once a month.Now since his first molt a day does not pass by where I don't see him moving around and exploring.I think it just takes time and sooner or later they come around.Yours is probably doing just fine.

What size is it? When mine were slings, they were VERY reclusive. I hadn't seen one for over two months, and was convinced it was dead. Fortunately, before I jumped the gun and dug it up, it reappeared a bit larger and no worse for wear. I would do what @kormath suggested and drop a prey item in and see if it disappears. That might set your mind at ease.

That's what my large size would do also. I was lucky with my enclosure setup. It's tunnel was under the fake leaves against the sides of the enclosure so i got see it all the time from the sides. Way to much webbing to see it from the top. The first few months i had it, it molted twice and then became less reclusive, the next molt it hooked out and then was always in view on top of the web and leaves.

She is probably about and 1". I saw her legs the other day and I believe she eat the other day because I don't see the cricket. So all is good but I'm still worried about her sometimes.

I have four of them at an inch, I see them all the time. Guess I got lucky I did lose one for unknown reasons, but the others are doing well. They eat like little piggies and web like gbbs
