[QUOTE="Volkswachter, post: 188226, member: 34028"] There are a million and one reasons (not really, more like 5 or 6) for a tarantula to not want to eat. They could be too hot or too cold, they could be in premolt and just off the idea of food. They could have just molted. They could be stressed. They could be just not in the mood for food. One of my M. balfouris buried himself for 6 months, no molt, no issue, just decided that's what he wanted to do for 6 months, and when he came out he still didn't care about food for a week. Best you can do is keep offering food on a regular schedule and try to eliminate as many possible causes that you CAN control (temp, humidity, stress to a degree) and if it's none of these issues, then it's just the tarantula being a tarantula.
