Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kiiarah" data-source="post: 49753" data-attributes="member: 3984">Thanks so much everyone! I swear I have been mulling over tarantula keeping in my sleep all week, but I think this will at least be a much better solution. She seems to be happy for the more sheltered enclosure too. I actually got to see her eat for the first time tonight so I can finally say with certainty that she is taking food. She even came out for a drink once she finished and then sat and cleaned herself. I am just overjoyed to see her doing all the things a healthy spider ought to do. Still stressing a bit about the first time she moults, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it I guess. Do you suppose that the bedding in the large enclosure underneath the one she is in will do anything to absorb vibrations? I am hoping it might reduce it and provide for a more peaceful habitat.Thanks Fleas! She is a doll. It really is amazing how even at the size of a large house spider they look so distinctively like tarantulas, just in miniature. I have been loving just sitting and watching her. I think it is a privilege to get to observe so many behaviors that one would rarely see otherwise. She has a lovely temperament as well, the two times I have had to move her she has been docile as can be. We had some hair flicking the night we found her, but I think she was just so scared after the cats had been having a go at her, the poor thing. I certainly don't hold it against her.</blockquote>
