Exactly. Another very good point. First make sure your hot side temps are up to par as well as the size of the enclosure and it has enough hides to feel at home. After you dial in ur temps if there all good consider this time of year the on and off feed due to the breeding season. Like i have said in threads before. I have males\females that are pounding food weekly and i have males\females who have gone off feed since breeding season started. There are so many reasons why it might not be eating that you have to tackle the basics first. Hope that helps a little. I know it gets frustrating but once you get use to it, it wont bother you as much. I always have a little bit of worry but soon as the temps outside start warming up they go back on feed. Or at least thats what ive noticed in my years of keeping the bps.Originally Posted by Danounet
Also keep in mind BPs might go off feed during the winter months. Mine have been on and off these months. Specialy bad with all these cold fronts these year. I gave up trying to get them to eat regularly, the cold fronts got the best of me. If they eat they eat, if not wait till next week and try agian.
The only one eating regularly is the little baby spider.
