Hello! My two tarantulas are fussy eaters they rarely want to eat, my OBT molted a month ago and my Pinktoe molted in January. Could they be fasting? Thank you!

If they are not eating, by definition, they are fasting. Not nearly enough info to determine why, but at 6 months past molt, the Avic could be pre-molt...if the OBT is small, monthly molts would not be uncommon, so they could both be pre-molt...but there's no way to really tell with so little info.

'Fasting' like in dieting? Lose a few ounces for the summer?

That may be the reason. The OBT is maybe like 2 inches and I do think the Pinktoe is in premolt. I guess I have to wait and see.
