Make sure it has a water dish to stave away any hydration issues and just give it time. Sometimes they can be picky. I know my arboreals can, sometimes they won’t except feeders if they have had the same one several times. Picky devils. Keep us posted. I’m sure it’ll be ok. Abdomen big and shiny? Sometimes they will get these little streaks ofMissing hair on the abdomen too. I am currently waiting for my large Acanthoscurria to molt, she hasn’t eaten in over a month at this point. They are pretty hardy. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
