[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 120349, member: 26980"] There is some good news. After carefully inspecting the web, it seemed strong enough to support a small cricket. I went to PetSmart to get crickets for my other tarantula and scorpion and got one extra for her. I chilled it in the refrigerator, pulled off the back legs and carefully put it into what looked like the strongest part of the web. I got one threat posture but no other response at first. The cricket was obviously slightly bigger then she was but stunned by the cold. As the cricket started to wake up and warm up, she approached it, killed it and began to eat it taking all night. Nothing but the shell was left at the bottom of the wood this morning and I have one very fast happy spider. So long as that web stays up, feeding her twice a week will not be a problem. Here's pics, 2 after she made the web and 2 after she ate the cricket. [ATTACH]25509[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]25510[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]25511[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]25512[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
