[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 187814, member: 33266"] Hi, Because us humans need light to see, we often do not realize that many of our Ts usually hunt at night :) I wouldn't be surprise if your T is bothered or scared by all the movement and vibrations when you are feeding her (moving and opening the enclosure....). Once everything settles down she can focus more on her prey and eating. This will likely change as she is getting bigger and used to her environment. This is just my take on it. When feeding my Ts, I do not get that many "takedowns" and just leave the crickets or dubias in the enclosures then comes back a few hours later after shutting off all the lights (I used led red lights to see) and suddenly everyone is out in the open and feeding :D I hope this helps. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
