[QUOTE="Tarantulafeets, post: 209791, member: 36666"] Welcome to the forum! If it is plump, you shouldn't have to worry about it having to eat, it could be in premolt so I would just leave it alone and keep a full water dish in there (could be a bottle cap). No need to put in crickets every day, it could just be not hungry. As for handling, I'm normally against it, as it puts unessecary stress on the animal, and there is always the chance that the spider could fall and rupture its abdomen, or the handler gets haired or even bit. I like to think of them as fish, for you to observe and not take out ;) [/QUOTE]
