Not only that, but the enclosure was bone dry, and the poor met's butt was very much on the thin side. Thankfully my dad let me get the poor thing, and she's molted for me and eating well!But I do have a question, how often is it okay to feed a thin tarantula? I've been feeding her about every other day (female red runners, she's too big for them but refuses anything else <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />). Is this okay to do? If not, I'll start feeding her weekly, as she's at a much healthier weight now anyways.Thank you! <img src="http://www.tarantulaforum.com/images/tarantulasmiley.jpg"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":T:" title="Tarantula Smiley    :T:" data-shortname=":T:" /></blockquote>
