Hi folks, just got my first T the other day and I'm super excited! Also glad to be part of the forum. So I got myself a G. Pulchripes, between 1" and 1.5" legspan. I set him/her up in the new home, a very small plastic terrarium with about 4" coir and a tiny half-log for hide. After a day to get acclimated, I decided to feed the little dude/dudette. The spider was in the back of the hide, semi-burrowed in the substrate, and I dropped two tiny crickets in. When I tweezed them I made sure to grab by one of their big legs and disable it so they wouldn't be hopping all over the place. They both wandered into the hide where my new friend was waiting and they were both quickly dispatched. This made me very happy. How exciting! Anyway the spider seems to have pulled both future bolus' down into the mini burrow. Now motionless, I guess he/she is eating them.
My question is: does the spider just leave the bolus wherever he is at when he finishes eating? Do they sometimes drag them out to like a dumping area of sorts to keep it out of their burrow? Will I have to pull the mini log up in order to the get them out? Is this all normal?
Sorry for the total noobage. I did a scan of the message boards to find some info before posting. Thanks friends!
