Wait - you took it out of its normal container to feed it in another one? ::

 

[freedumbdclxvi]

What species and how big?

 

[MarkmD]

I guess your new to the hobby? because you don't have to take it out of one enclosure and feed in another, as asked what species is your T?.

 

[JiangC]

Found it guys! it's at the back of my door. And yes i am new to Ts and it is a brachypelma albiceps!

B. albos are cool spiders. Glad you found it, but I have to ask: why on earth would you transfer it to another enclosure for feeding? It makes zero sense to me.

 

[JiangC]

T always can't find the mealworms when i put it inside the enclosure but when i transfer it he/she seems to eat it straight. Mostly my friend did that to their slings too.

 

[freedumbdclxvi]

They will dig up the worms when hungry - mine do. Otherwise, try getting a large dish and placing it in the enclosure, then putting the mealworms and T in it. That way, it stays in the enclosure.

 

[JiangC]

Thanks will do!!

 

[MarkmD]

Cool glad you found it, I crush the meal/superworms head's that way they don't burrow and the T can find it easily.

As strange as it may sound, the only way I can get my adult female B. smithi to eat is to transfer her to a small Kritter Keeper. She went eight months without eating – I put her in the small enclosure with two crickets, they were gone the next morning. If I put them in her tank, they’ll die of starvation, old age, etc. She averages two crickets large crickets a week now, but again, only when transferred to a smaller container.

Look, I don’t make these things, I just own them.

 

[RockinOutAmber]

Just smash the head of the mealworm and it won't burrow.

 

[Osmo]

Is your enclosure to big for the T? if its having a hard time finding its food that may be the issue. What size enclosure and what size T?

 

[JiangC]

My enclosure is not big and is okay for my T.

 

[Crystalfox]

I'm new to t keeping too and I'm still fascinated by these beautiful Arachnids

 

[Bast]

Glad you found your T

 

[Theist 17]

So, why don't you just keep your spider in the smaller container? Unless it is just a remarkably tiny container for your spider, I would suggest moving your spider into the smaller container.

They will dig up the worms when hungry - mine do.

Which species does that? I've just never heard of them doing that before.
