I just gave my tarantula a cricket she pounced as usual then I look back and she is webbing it over. Then she starts eating it again. Is this normal? This is the first time I have seen her do this.

My rose hair will that quite often. Kinda wraps it up and then it's gone shortly after. That's the only one of mine that I've noticed that will do that

It's not unusual, some do it more than others.

Eating her web isn't going to hurt her is it?

Nope. A good thing to keep in mind is that a T isn't going to purposely do something to harm itself. They know how to be a tarantula better than you do, so just let it be and trust that it knows what it's doing

Spider web is actually made of a protein fiber so it could even be good for them.

Okay that's good to know. She is my first tarantula and I want to make sure is not sick or anything
