This is my first T so had a couple quick questions. I've had the T for only about a month and a half, Ive been feeding it a couple crickets a week sporadically. On the last feeding i put a cricket in which it took out fast nothing different and 4 hours later I decided to put one more in for good measure since I would be away that weekend. It didn't want anything to do with it. I decided to leave it in the cage for the weekend. When I got back cricket was still there so I took it out. I left it alone for a week just making sure it had water in the dish. Week goes by and its abdomen isn't jet black so I decided to drop a new cricket in see what happens. Nothing completely ignored it left it in overnight. Cricket was still in the cage alive so I took it out. Now I'm thinking it must be in pre-molt or it has decided to fast which I was really hoping wasn't the case. Another week goes by and when I went to change the water yesterday I finally seen the jet black abdomen almost charcoal in appearence. Here are some of the questions I have that I hope the community can help me with. :?
Do tarantulas turn into pre-molt mode that quick?
The T has about a 4inch legspan if its abodmen has just turned jet black and it is in pre-molt about how long until it molts?
Anything I should be concerned about in?
Thanks for any input
