Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 66869" data-attributes="member: 4199">Nice!  Glad she's eating.  Mine won't take any prekilled food.  She's been a hunter since day 1.  Her fav right now is dubia roaches.  I have to drop them on her web though or they burrow out of sight and she ignores them, or rather my son has to lol.  We feed on Wednesdays, and sundays again for the tiny ones.  Yesterday i found my son had forgotten to put the dubai on the web, either that or they were able to escape before becoming food.  The GBB had 3 all snuggled up in the corner of her enclosure.  I was able to pick up all 3 with a pair of olive tongs and drop them on her web.  She went nuts to get to them <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  and now she has some repair work on the web to keep her busy.I've never noticed the abdomen on our GBB getting shiny at pre-molt.  I'll have to watch for that this next time.  The legs turning dark is what we've been going on.  Anytime she refuses to eat we check the legs <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
