I fed my t, Charlotte, yesterday. Gave her one small cricket which she happily took. Normally she goes back to her burrow when she eats but she stayed up top. I took care of my other critters while keeping an eye on her and after she didn't hide, on a whim I grabbed the last cricket and offered him up thinking she was probably going to refuse. Uh, no. She jumped ON TO my tongs grabbing him. Wish I had gotten a picture but I was too suprised and by the time I'd thought about it she was off and crawling back into her burrow. So memo to self: next time spider is still out after one cricket, feed anwyays. Girl might be hungry still!
And on another note, I got a small cricket keeper for her food. It has the water gels and the gut loaded cricket food on either side with two tubes. I had nine crickets in there on Thursday and they were fine, but by monday seven had died. The room is temp controlled and their food and water gel levels were fine. Is losing that many normal?
