[QUOTE="sunset, post: 201405, member: 37682"] Great job rescuing the little critter!!! Try not to stress to much about his living conditions. T's are very easy to care for. Your doing a great job reaching out as well. This forum is choc filled with great T owners and are always here to help. He is a beautiful creature!!! Hopefully with a little time it will recover just fine and can go back into the yard. I also wouldn't try to feed it anything until it gets his coordination. Feeder insects like grasshoppers, crickets, roaches, ect. could hurt it while the spider is still recovering. They can go weeks with out food and be just fine. From the great photo you sent in of the T, the abdomen ( Butt) looks nice and round and full. Just keep the papertowel moist or you can even put a clean Gatorade cap filled with clean water in there for it, and you can even use an extra piece of paper towel cupped in a corner and that can give it a place to hide and allow you to still keep an eye on it. Just make sure you have good cross ventilation ( poke a lot of holes around the sides) to keep mold from growing!! Keep up the great work!! [/QUOTE]
