I have a spider that isn't gaining weight even though he is eating?
He is a few months old now and eats once a week, he is on rat pinkies. All together we have 14 BPs and 9 other are very close to his own age. They have all put on weight but he seems not to, I mean the rest were on pinkies and now are on pups if that tells you anything. Any idea what's up with that?

Re: I have a spider that isn't gaining weight even though he is eating?
At a few months old he should be eating weaned or chubby rats. It sound's like he's simply not getting enough food. A rat pinky is very small for a ball.. I start hatchling babys on pinks or pups..

As of right now looking at his girth a pup would be too big for him and a pinky is perfect. Remember different people call their rats/mice different sizes. So let's not get confused.
Maybe I should try to feed him more frequently then. Every 4 days maybe?

The thing that really has me bugged out is the other babies about his age have all surpassed him on weight and overall size.

Round about this size.
I'll go find my camera cord to post on here the spider himself.

Start giving him rat fuzzies.

Better yet, give him two pinks.
