Tarantula Refusing Food AFTER a Molt

[torstrum]

Hey guys, my B. Emilia's been largely refusing food since september. she just molted about 2 days ago, I figured within a couple of days she'd have a ravenous appetite. she still backs away from the crickets defensively when it get's close. Never actually attacking it.

What's up? also she's on ecoearth

I would wait at least 10 after the molt before offering food. Her fangs may not be hard enough yet to eat. It might even take 2 weeks before she's ready. It sure is amazing how long they can go without food.

+1, just make sure she has access to water and try again in a week
