6.5 inch Theraphosa Stirmi. I’m wondering if this is a female?
She has a large bowl of fresh water, crickets and super worms in her enclosure. The humidity is at 80% and the temp at 83. Should I be doing something different? She was wild caught and I’ve had her for 3 weeks. She came skinny ☹

If not eating the crickets and superworms, remove them after say 24hours max.

If WC she could have other health issues preventing eating. Was she WC and then straight to you or previously WC but had moulted with previous owner?

The position suggests she is climbing a lot and this is a sign of adjusting from beinb in the wild and now in a cage.

I would keep her away from others you have in case there is any disease or parasites that could be transmitted to the rest of your collection.

Keep plenty of fresh water handy and keep trying with food but remove if not eaten.
 
She seems to like being out and about in the evenings. She was kept for 8 weeks prior to being sold so they could check for parasites etc.
