Message: <blockquote data-quote="KhoanScart" data-source="post: 144588" data-attributes="member: 28762">My tarantula hasn't eaten since I got her a little under two weeks ago.  I'm not too concerned since I know they can go for months without eating, but I'm wondering why she doesn't want to eat.  I know pre-molt is one reason, but she hasn't shown any other signs of pre-molt.  I did notice that the stripes on her legs are looking yellow instead of white, she's an A. Seemanni.  Could that be a sign of pre-molt too?  I have pictures of when I first brought her home and of today and you can see the difference in color of her stripes.As far as her behavior, nothing seems out of order.  She sticks mostly in her hide, peaking out a few times in the afternoon and doing who knows what at night.  I usually see her looking in her hide in the evening, sticking her booty at me (rude!), and in the morning she's inside the hide looking out.  Are there any other signs I should be looking for and at what point should I be concerned if she still hasn't eaten?</blockquote>
