Doesn't look like it's in heavy pre molt, it's nice and plump so don't worry about feeding for now. Your substrate looks on the dry side, moisten a portion of the sub for the little guy, they need a decent amount of moisture as slings, especially if he's nearing a molt.Hi,
I checked how an LP sling looks like and it looks just like mine... A spotted furry looking abdomen. But he's/she's been refusing my offers for the past few weeks... Is my T currently on premolt?

Thank you,

NEXT THREE WEEKS?!? IT HASN'T EATEN FOR ABOUT 2 weeks..>.< Oh man...The abdomen is fairly dark, I'd say it's in early premolt. Taking into account this species fast growth speed, I'd guess a molt is coming within the next 3 weeks.
Okay, I'll do that. Thank you.Doesn't look like it's in heavy pre molt, it's nice and plump so don't worry about feeding for now.

Completely variable lol, could molt in like a week, who knows? I just gave an over estimate so I wouldn't be wrong.NEXT THREE WEEKS?!? IT HASN'T EATEN FOR ABOUT 2 weeks..>.< Oh man...
Spiders can go months without food. Even the spiderlings could last a few dont worry try in a week if it will help you sleep at night i know the worry we've all been thereShould I try again?? Just in case...
YesIs my T currently on premolt?
By the way, that's crazy...10 months?!?!?! How big is the T? Maybe prekilled may get the feed?>.<If it makes you feel better, my G. Rosea ( admittedly an adult) hasn't eaten in 10 months and is still nice and plump although fasting is common with that species. Just to show you how not eating for a few weeks is nothing worrysome
They just have slow metabolisms and if they plump up they don't need to eat for really long periods of time.Buy the way, that's crazy...10 months?!?!?! How big is the T? Maybe prekilled may get the feed?>.<
I feed them Tuesdays and Fridays, I'll try next Friday... Hopefully you're right... Lol would be nice if it molts tonight but..it's a tarantula, who knows when it will actually molt..-.- Thanks for the infoCompletely variable lol, could molt in like a week, who knows?
