[QUOTE="Methal, post: 34250, member: 3414"] Ive have it about a week, 3rd T I now own, Its not webbing, or digging, just hiding. I fed it 2 days after I got it, and as far as I know it ate, At least I could not find what I fed it anywhere in the small jar i keep the OBT in. It grabbed the little cricket right away. 4 or 5 days later I put a small fly in the jar, again the little sling (about the size of my thumb nail) grabbed the fly right away. But this time didn't bite, just held onto it for a good 2 hours before releasing the fly, in an odd way. It flipped over on its back, and promptly righted itself then scurried into its little corner. oddest behavior i've ever seen. Should I be concerned? how often should I feed it? how do I tell when its going to molt? Thanks in advance =) [/QUOTE]
