Hello all,

Ok, so I just received a wonky wobbling Leopard Spider that was overnighted (tieing herself in knots). I purchased two live pinky mice 3-4 hours ago for her to eat. She is avoiding them and showing no interest. I currently have one pinky in with her that i put in a section of the cage that is 80F. The Leopard Spider is probably 1-2months old and 54 grams. She also has a lump at the base of the tail approximately the size of a pinky.

To be honest I suspect this breeder who will remain nameless at the moment assist fed her a pinky two days ago, boxed her up with a heat pack, scheduled for a driver to come pick her up on wednesday which didnt arrive, left this girl in the box in his house overnight, and then shipped her out on thursday to arrive today around 12pm.

Please advise me on where to go from here. Should I move the pinky to the cool side? How long can the pinky stay in with my girl? Should I attempt to feed off the pinky(s) to my 280+ females?

Appreciate any and all responses.

Thanks,
