Does it cause a problem if the tarantula is small for its age?

[QUOTE="x_raphael_xx, post: 229188, member: 37624"] I have a G Pulchra and a N.Chromatus that were my first T's. In the last 3 years the G Pulchra has barely changed, and the Chromatus has gone from a tiny dot to now bigger than the Pulchra. They all grow at different rates. Even sac mates will grow differently. Feedings definately help, but be careful to overfeed. That can cause issues during molting. Feedings and warmer temps can encourage growth, some people use this to grow on males to maturity quicker. But this shortens lifespan. Just keep it fed and watered and it will grow at its own pace.
