[QUOTE="Haileeamethyst, post: 168416, member: 32102"] Hello, I am a new first time tarantula owner and picked up this beauty a little more than a week ago. She is a Curley haired tarantula named Lalaith. Because I’m new to this, I naturally am concerned about a few things. First, I am wondering if my enclose needs anything of if it looks okay( there is a water dish that might not be visible in the picture). I first fed her the day I got her and I fed her about 3 feeding crickets. About a week later (2 days ago) I got some young Dubia and Madagascar hissing ****roaches to feed her. I put 3 roaches in her enclosure and she wasn’t eating them. The next morning it looks like she might have eaten 2 unless they borrowed which I will check for but she wouldn’t eat the one I saw out. I’m not sure if she’s going to molt soon or just didn’t like the roaches? I’m wondering if I should try to pick up some crickets or wait a week. She also spends a lot of time just hanging out on the glass and I’m not sure why. In the picture she’s getting warm on the heating pad but she’s on the other side of the enclosure in the glass a lot. Because I’ve only had her for about a week, I can’t really look for changes that would indicate she’s in premolt. Any advice? Thank you in advance -Hailee [/QUOTE]
