Good afternoon lads, I recently got a Nhandu chromatus and I was told she will eat crickets (this is not the case) she won't eat them no matter if they are dead or alive, she isn't moulting, and well spends alot of time in the water parts of her enclosure.
BTW she is about a year old and the odd time she is out and about just chilling.
Any help will be appreciated, I was thinking grubs or something but I would like some help from you fine people that have alot more experience than me.
Regards Ineedhelpwithmyt

Why don't you post a picture of your tarantula and it's entire enclosure, maybe we see something other than just a fussy tarantula

There isn’t a single tarantula on the planet that won’t eat crickets, especially a Nhandu. How recently did you get it? It might still be settling in, so just wait a week then try again. Beautiful little spider you got there, just keep trying every so often and she’ll eat when she’s ready.
