[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 166125, member: 29323"] If you suspect the T may be pre molt I would personally cause it as little disruption to it as possible. And try just leaving the food in there for your pink toe. Is it an Avic avic? As there are other pink toes. I feed my Avic avic by simply popping food in & leaving it, it is normally gone over night. With cleaning, just quietly pick out any bits of detritus you can with tweezers & leave it at that until you your T is either eating again, or until it has molted. T's are fairly hardy, but I personally try to not knowingly disturb a T, I suspect maybe pre molt if I can. Edited to add. A Tarantula in the wild would not eat every week & maybe not every month & it will see seasonal changes to availability too. So a well fed captive T, may naturallly go through periods where it does not need to eat, or where it chooses not to feed for any number of resons. Being pre molt, being just one of those reasons.
