It started with my two poecilotheria juveniles dying about a week ago. Since they are my first poecilotherias I just assumed I sucked at keeping them and then did some heavy research. Couldn't find what I did wrong. I only had them for a month or so, so I wasn't very attached to them. Sad nonetheless. I eventually shrugged it off. Yesterday I found my very small Acanthoscurria geniculata in death curl. Didn't think much of it. Today I found my precious Psalmopoeus slings dead. Checked them both for mites, checked the enclosure for mold... nothing. They were acting just fine the night before. Humidity was right, temperature was right, none of them were dehydrated. Checked the other enclosures, and surprise surprise ALL OF THEM WERE DEAD! Except for the bigger t's and two slings. No warning signs or anything.
The victims were all eating from the same shitty fruitfly culture. I got it online since none of my local pet stores sell fruitflies. It only lasted a couple of days before it was riddled with grain mites. Could that be the reason or is it something else?
I'm incredibly devastated.
Any answer is appreciated.
