[QUOTE="Therasoid, post: 47261, member: 3538"] Well, if you recently acquired or rehoused them in the past few days, they won't eat. Takes time for them to acclimate (feel secure) in a new environment. Provide a hide, water dish and lightly moist substrate, especially for the B. emilia. Currently no L. parahybana in my care, but they too are Theraphosinae species, so may also want to burrow. Slings are scavengers, I pre kill all food items for mine. Beheaded crickets or roaches (S. lateralis) are placed near them or just outside the burrow, removed the following day if not eaten. Crush the head of the worm, or cut into pieces roughly 1/2 the slings total body length. [emoji4] If the rump is as large or larger than the carapace I wouldn't worry too much. Check for signs of pre molt as this could also be the reason for not eating. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
