[QUOTE="Bibster, post: 138934, member: 28362"] Hello, I just joined this forum and hope you can help me with my problem. I just got my first T, a Brachypelma Smithi (2cm leg span) a small sling. I got it on 26 sep, and it travelled 1 week in trasnit and until now it makes almost 3 weeks since it hasnt eaten. I figured out it was in premolt when the T burrowed its self and blocked all the entrances, but this happened like 1 week ago. Havent seen the T in 5 days and i started to worry because i read that when it will be ready to eat, the T will open the burrow. 3 days ago i saw that the t opened the burrow, tried to feed her with prekilled mealworms or prekilled ****roach but nothing worked, i went to the store to buy crickets and i will try with them. The reason why i tried to feed her prekilled prey is because it still may be in the molting process and i dont wanna get her stressed out by a roaming roach or something. I dont know if i should wait a little more, or try to dig her out which i know its bad cuz if the T is molting she will probably stop and die. Hope you can help me with this, i really dont want it to die of hunger, here are some photos of the T, you can spot the shiny abdomen and the black spot on it, signs of premolt.
