So I tossed a cricket into my tarantula's tank and it didn't pounce on it. I just kind of figured it need some time so I went out to go to the bathroom. When I came back the tarantula had feasted on the cricket and was hanging from the side of the tank and had a dead cricket hanging from it's mouth. I know it was kind of my fault for missing it pounce on it but still, the first time is special. And I am sad. :'(

Well, The next one make it more special. Put on some music. Dim the lights. Maybe have a meal on the go yourself.
Then feed it, you'll remember that time for sure. And maybe so will your T.

P.S. if this does happen. Make sure you get a video :D

Either you pee very long or it eats very fast haha! My T takes at least 1 hour before i see a bolus in her water bowl, accompanied usually by milky white poo... Or u can just forget it ever happened :D. Theres one thing i always fail to watch, my T molting. I have had about 4 or 5 molts i missed already.

look at it this way at least you know your T is feeding. there will be many more times that you will feed it and watch the strike and take the pray.
