Well if she just ate then I'm not sure what it is, like TarantulaBella said 3 kicks can easily create a bald spot. Watch the abdomen color, if it turns dark or black it will molt soon after that.

Could be a sign of molting since my lasiodora parahybana kicks all her hair off before a molt

Well whenever I say I own tarantulas I get "Really? You?" Keep in mind im a 16 y/o 6'3 muscular Asian male who listens to power metal.

I suppose you're right though hair flicking is nothing compared to an ow

My lp isn't too calm she's flicked hairs at me just for opening her cage to change water and tries to attack anything that moves

So besides the p cambridgei are there any other nw ts that can help me gain more experience with tendencies and speed of ow

Nightstalker47 you're right I should just go for a faster nw t instead of running in blind with ow

So both of you have suggested an a ezendami I will look more into that. I understand the dangers of an old world and I think I can handle it. Like I said I don't intend to bother them other than to change substrate which is the only time I can see them attempting to escape or to bite *edit* all...

I have had my LP for 6 months and I'm looking for another T. I have no desire to hold poke or prod and tarantula unless it has escaped.

Thinking of either a Pterinochilus murinus or Cyriopagopus lividus. Any suggestions are appreciated. I was also thinking about getting a scorpion like the heterometrus.

Thanks for the help everyone I came back in to find 2 cricket legs and I promptly fed her another which she gobbled up immediately :)

This is the 2nd time I've offered her food the first was about a week after her molt and I realized it was too early to feed her. She is currently about 5-6 inches

New tarantula owner here had her for about 4 months and she molted about 2 weeks ago. I tried feeding her today and the cricket ran into her hide and I can't get it out without disturbing my T. Suggestions? Can I just leave it in there and hope she eats it?

I found that if I leave a light on over them to simulate daylight they stop chirping.

Ok well she's about 6 inches so maybe 2 weeks?

When would be an appropriate time to try to feed her if she molted about 1-2 days ago. P.s. How do I get these damn crickets to stop chirping?

Took a closer look and it turns out it is mold. I suppose I'll change out all the substrate once she molts

Did it, guess now all I can do is wait.

Also there is some webbing in the bottom of the enclosure. I don't think it's mold but will post pictures asap

I would get a picture of her but her abdomen is facing to the entrance to the hide so you can't really see it.
