PPulcher Question

[Melly G]

My juvi PP finally took a red runner, or so I thought. She just killed it and left it in her water dish. Her abdomen is quite small as well. I misted her enclosure, hoping she’d drink the droplets as she had no interest in her water bowl.

Should I worry?

I wouldn’t worry, chances are it’s just not hungry or just simply saving it for later. As a fanatic of the Psalmopoeus genus, I have found the four species I raised to be somewhat particular about food. I would feed mine mealworms. You can try different feeders. A lot of arboreals in general will take crickets readily.

She probably is drinking from the water dish, but on her own time.

Thank you so much for your calming words of wisdom! I will try different feeders as well.
