Greetings fellow arachnid lovers,
I'm have a problem with my Arizona blonde. It's my first tarantula and I've had it for almost a year now. I can't identify it as a male or female because I bought it as an adult and the store didn't know either. It stopped eating about two months after I had it and has been fasting for around 8 months now. The abdomen has shrunk significantly and is unproportionate. It's also wrinkled/shriveled from being dehydrated because I thought my brother was watering them but he hasn't been in the last 2-3 weeks. It still hasn't eaten anything and I've tried mealworms, superworms, roaches, and crickets of all sizes... I'm starting to wonder if it's a male tarantula approaching the end of its life cycle as I do not know how old it is. Even though it has not eaten in close to 8 months, it is still pretty active at night despite it losing weight. Anyone have any clue?
