I do so and leave it there for a few hours, as tarantulas eat when they feel like it.When the abdomen looks like it's shiny black in color, it is in premolt. Premolt can last a while. Tarantulas can go quite a while without food, take the G. porteri for instance, they can fast for quite a while. You can attempt again, but I would follow the above advice.As for the name change I can't say.
