[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 220966, member: 29323"] As DustyD said, often when they do this they are molting. Personally, if a T is webbed in, I do not feed. But it is important to keep the water available. A tarantula is very vulnerable when molting, so food like crickets are unwise, as they can harm a molting tarantula. Tarantulas are also unable to eat for at least a week following a molt as their fangs are soft. So putting food in when a T is webbed in, is best avoided. But not every T that webs themselves in, is molting. But it is wise to behave as if they are. And they will make themselves known if they are hungry. [/QUOTE]
