How much to feed?

She most likely was hungry, because she’s in her hide now, and has been there since her second mouse.

Well she is a spider combo and they can have their own unique personality and behavioural traits. In this case though, it doers sound like upping her food would be a good idea.

My Mabel has started pacing just after she has been fed, it’s the only time she paces though. She will go over her rocks and branches and I was told she is aiding digestion! Not sure how true that is but as she goes back into her hide after 20 minutes and it’s the only time she does it [emoji2]

Once I upped the prey size for my little guy, he seemed to be much less active. Pacing could still be a husbandry thing, though. 75 sounds a bit low for ambient, to me. Make sure you are using a good thermometer, plus an IR him to read the ground temp. Also make sure he has at least two hides so he bc an thermoregulate. If all of that seems good, then he probably was just hungry.
