He def wasn't picky before...
Is that really true? Well that sucks. Gotta pay like $1 for each meal I guess :<Based on my reading it would appear that some Ts enjoy roaches so much that once they try them, they'll refuse anything else. Not exactly sure whether this is a fact or not, mind you, and owning roaches is a finable offence where I am so I can't really test the theory.
14pokies theory seems far more likely.
I thought he was premolt but there is no darkened abdomen so idk. It's been like a month of fasting and the abdomen is a peachy skin-tone
Aphnos grow so slow!Your T could be in premolt for months! They may show signs of premolt weeks before its visible on the opithstoma and have a darkened abdomen for a long time before they actually molt!
ok ill just assume you're right. As long as his abdomen looks ok i wont worry
There is some details missing here. Were hissers included in the prey insects provided during that month long fasting period? Based on the available information, it appears the spider was regularly fed, had its fill, and took the first prey item available when it was hungry again. Tarantula species from arid climates generally have a slower metabolism than the tropical species so they won't be able to keep up with the high amounts of food usually provided in captivity. Don't feed again for another month or two and provide something else. If it takes it, you know it didn't develop this picky eating habit others have suggested.
This. I have had no fasting issues with my rosie in the year I've had her. Then again I only feed her like once a month.
Ok will do thanks for the advice
