    Re: Eating problems

    Wow I never knew gender played a role. My male eats great it's just the females. Also, I was going to throw the male in with the female this weekend but since she hasn't eaten I think it's a bad idea. Maybe throwing him in and them locking will get her to eat though?

    Depends on a few thing age / size is she a proven breeder, if so when did she lay last, has she gain all of her wait back plus more etc.

    Many female that I have received on a lone did not go that first season because they would not eat and I was not satisfied with their weight and overall look so I gave them the season off.

    She is a proven breeder but I am not sure when she layed last. Here is a picture of her if that would help determine her size

    Well get a scale and try to find out when she last led, obviously this needs to be taken in consideration as well, for example I would not start pairing a female that just had eggs in September or October, which is why the more info the better.

    She last layed eggs about 18 months ago, so she is good to breed I'm just worried about her not eating. I have 2 hides in their tanks, the hot spot is around 90, idk why they won't eat. I know the one is about to shed so that might be why, but for the spider female I have no clue. I'm going to try again tonight

    Like I told you flashily female ls are easily prone to stress when changing environment if she has a good body weight and the quarantine is over start introducing the male to see if it triggers her appetite, if not it could take months for her to adjust and resume feeding which is nothing abnormal.

    What exactly do you mean by quarantine?

    Also, just tried again with no luck. I'm going to put the male in her tub and see if they'll lock. Maybe that'll make them hungry
