ok well i have a male spider and 2 female pastels and my spider a pastel female locked up on 2/20/12 and on 3/2/12 and i haven't paired up recently due to this question so i was wondering if its to late in the season for her to start growing follicles. also i heard that a male being in the cage could start follicle growth so if this is the case when would i be able to start feeling follicles?. also idk if this will help she is pounding rats if i offer her every day she will take them. im only feeding her every 7 days should i change that to 5 if she is growing follicles so she can get some more weight?
