[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 136704, member: 4086"] At 4" you can feed her once or twice every two weeks, if you want. As you said, they have an appetite. So one large dubia every week wont hurt a fast growing, ravenous Lp. My spiders have always been plump, I just dont let them get obese, American style :D If spiders are in their web tube or hide, never mess with them, as a general rule. Just be patient and they'll start coming out. Eventually. I wait a week, minimum, for slings to harden up before offering food. The bigger they get, the longer it takes to recover after a molt. You want their fangs to be pure black, not white or reddish white. My old adult Lp took a month before she would start eating after a molt. [/QUOTE]
