    Smaller tub for a picky eater?

    My spider (1000ish gram female) hasn't taken a meal in quite a while. I switched her to a 15qt to see if smushing her might help.

    Am I nuts?

    She hasn't taken live or frozen mice or rats of any size. She's quite the jerk.

    Some of my females just started back up eating due to the breeding season. Even one of my females that didn't breed this year. As long as your husbandry is spot on, she should pickup eating soon.

    Thanks, I'll see what happens. I just wish she would eat SOMETHING.
