Hi! I'm a new tarantula keeper, and I'm not sure what I'm seeing right now so hope someone can help. My G. pulchra juvenile (about 1") has been acting totally normal since I got it about three months ago; it's eaten a few times and burrowed a bit and generally seems to be doing well.
However, it's refused the last 2 feeds (about 4-5 days apart) and I assumed it was potentially going to moult, only this morning it's sitting in the middle of the enclosure with a couple of legs on one side in the air, not moving. When I opened the enclosure it did move slightly so not dead! It has plenty of bark to burrow under, is it possible it's moulting right out in the open or could it be dying already? If so, anything I can do? Other than the legs in the air, nothing else seems out of place.
