Message: <blockquote data-quote="octanejunkie" data-source="post: 130880" data-attributes="member: 3872">I had a similar experience with our GBB sling and that it's not very active and stays in its web 99% of the time and seems unfazed by our presence or handling of its enclosure, but it obviously gets it around because there's more webbing everyday. Also similarly, ours ate only once since we received it, and then refused food for about a month until it finally molted last week. I fed it a week after it molted and it ravenously devoured a hobbled cricket the same size as its own body. I found putting the food item in the web was very useful to trigger a feeding response.Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk</blockquote>
