These spiders can go a good while without food. It might be best to see if you can get her buolding a web for a week or two, and then try feeding her again. If she actually will eat some flightless fruit flies without a web, that’s good, but I have no experience feeding one outside of a web. She...
I have had one for a couple of years. The good news is that these are hardy apiders. If she is still alive, it is definitely worth a shot to see if you can nurse her back to health. I would try offering her a crevice within an enclosure, surrounded by a flat area so she can make the type of web...
