I recently got an LP (4" now) and I'm still trying to figger out its eating habits. A couple weeks ago I splashed some water in its dish while refilling it. The spider was nearby and charged the dish. Someone on this forum said it may have been hungry. I assumed it was thinking a tasty treat had just fallen into the drink. Made sense to me.
A couple days later I did the same thing with the same result. I ended up tossing in a doobie roach and it was pounced on lickety-split. Later that day I tried the water dish test again, but this time the LP just sat there. So now about every third day the LP rushes the water dish when I do the splash test. Does anyone one else have a "system" for knowing when a spider is hungry? I used to just toss in a morsel with the hope that I didn't have to fish it out later on.
