Mine at 2.5cm are given a water bottle cap to drink from, although I rarely see them drink. Yours may want to dig a burrow instead of using the hide provided. In this case have about 6-7cm of substrate for it to utilize. Feeding once per week is fine at this size. Prey should be slightly larger than its carapace, remove the following day if uneaten. Best time to feed is right after dusk, tarantulas are nocturnal. This is a very hardy species, rarely turn down a meal unless its in premolt. Gorgeous right after a molt, especially as an adult.
