Hi everyone. I'm new to the hobby of keeping Tarantulas. To start with I got 5 spiderlings. They are Acanthoscurria brocklehursti 3/4" Brachypelma boehmei 1/4" Cyriopagopus schioedtei 1" Heteroscodra maculata 1/4" Lasiodora parahybana 1/4".
My question is how can you tell if they are content and happy? My H. Mac has built webs in the small branches I put in it's enclosure. It spends several hours up there, but then will come down and spend several hours on the ground. Is that normal? My A. brocklehursti spends about 2/3 it's time in the burrow it made and the other 1/3 on the surface with it's first 4 legs on the side of the enclosure. Is that normal?
I guess I just want to make sure they are not doing anything that indicates they are unhappy with the setup in their enclosures.
