[QUOTE="TarantulaGirl549, post: 27423, member: 2681"] They're stubborn like that, I leave the food I give them in their enclosures and if they haven't gobbled it by say... 24/32 hours later i'll take it out and try the next week. As I kill my food for the babies it goes off pretty quick *yuk*. They can be quite active feeders at night, so if you check the next day and they're gone you know the T is eating. My pulchra is eating shy, I have to put the lid back on, wait 5 and she's gobbling away. Don't worry with T's too much, they can fast for long periods of time. Main thing is humidity and moisture (obviously not soggy). I got my P Irminia about a month ago (1cm) and it's been ignoring my feeding attempts then all of a sudden the abdomen and carapace went dark and it molted last night. It's like Christmas when they spring a surprise molt on you. Even better if you can watch :). [/QUOTE]
