please help my orange bob

[paccen]

首先，我是中国人，我的英语很差，我会尽可能详细地描述这些事情。
今天我收到了新的快递–两只橙色的鲍勃，但是我刚发现他们在角落里蜷缩，我本以为他们已经死了，但是他们没有。当我触碰他的时候们的时候，他们疯了一样的逃跑，但是当他们安静下来，他们又蜷缩在角落，我尝试给他们喂了葡萄糖，但是没有用，我该怎么办？

First of all, I am Chinese, my English is very poor, I will describe these things in as much detail as possible.
I'm sorry that the words were changed into Chinese. Today, I received a new express delivery -- two orange Bob, but I just found them cowering in the corner. I thought they were dead, but they didn't. When I touch them, they run away like crazy, but when they quiet down, they curl up in the corner, I try to feed them glucose, but it doesn't work, what should I do?

I don't speak Chinese, but please use Google translate.

Do not give glucose to your tarantulas. They are predators. They are not butterflies! If they are curled up in the corner, please leave them alone. They are stressed and need to be left alone. Give them room to hide and they should be fine.

Can you make a picture of your enclosure or terrarium?

'orange Bob' (I assume 'OBT') is fantastic!

Sounds like your average friendly American neighbour called Robert, that, with sorta reddish hairs, offers to you a beer in the backyard

No glucose, anyway.

They are just scared, they are stressed from the delivery, give them time to adjust, what I do with new tarantulas is place them in a dark spot for a few hours to let them get used to their new enclosures. I would put them in something larger myself, and give them a hide half buried and a few anchor points for webbing

 

[Vanisher]

It is advisable to give tarantulas in that size some structure like a piece of bark. This speicies webbs alot and likes structure to attach the webbing to! I give them a thick layer of dry mulch or peat and pieces of corkbarks and dry branches! And a waterdish. They dont eat glucos, it may be dangerous?! Give them insects like flies, beetles, crickets or cochroaches

After a night, they had begun to weave the web. Apparently they were just scared, so I asked the seller, who often kept them in the dark, and I kept them in the sunny bedroom. But yesterday I was so anxious that I gave them glucose, which is stupid. I will post the photos later. Thank you for your help.

It's just a translation error, as we call him in China

Yes, it worked


The first is obt with his web already woven, and the second is the tiny Monocentropus balfouri (which is super cute)

I would really rehouse your OBT into a bigger enclosure. It will almost certainly run off one time when you open the enclosure if you keep it like this. If you give it an enclosure with at least 4 times as much surface area, about 10 cm substrate and a piece of cork bark to hide under, it will retreat to his hide when you open the enclosure.

If i look on the picture and enlarge it. The carapace and chelicerae part looks very weird! What is that? Is ot just that the picture is blurry, but it certainly looks weird!

 

[paccen]

I have a bigger box and a better environment, but I live in northern China, where the highest temperature is only 15 degrees, and I need to heat it in a small box, hoping to give it a new home in the summer.

I will study in school on weekdays and see it a week later. I hope it is ok.

I think it's just the angle. You look a sort of along the padipalp.

 

[Vanisher]

Yes i guess.

Please put the P. murinus into something much larger and with an area to hide! Your spider will be much happier if you do.

My first thought was that it has had its fangs removed...

What they are doing is called a stress curl. It is normal for a Tarantula to become stressed out after traveling. What I recommend is to give them space and let them calm down for a few days. Maybe one week. Eventually they will relax and calm down.

They are much better and I will keep them updated because they will soon be sexually mature and the female is already in heat

What now? Since English isn’t your first language and is super different from Mandarin and/or Cantonese, I’m going to assume that you are trying to say that the female is “mature”. Tarantulas don’t go through estrus cycles like other animals do.

I'm sorry, I mean the female spiders are already mature. There is very little literature on bird spiders in China. Chinese businesses only breed and sell them, so few people study their habits carefully. So I hope I can learn more about them.

I agree completely! From the date of March 9, 2019, the name "Orange Bitey Thing/ OBT" to refer to the Pterinochilus murinus Usumbara Mountain orange variant will be retired and henceforth will be referred to as "Orange Bob".
