First off, I am new to the boards, so greetings to everybody!
I have only recently gotten a tarantula to care for(a B. Albo sling) and for now it is less than an inch in leg span.
Up until recently it was eating on a regular basis. That being every day or every other day. But within the last 2 weeks it has been refusing food altogether. I have kept offering it meal worms every other day ever since it stopped eating.
Now I understand that these spiders can fast for a good while when they feel an upcoming moult, but the same guidelines also say that slings will generally only stop eating for a few days prior to a moult, rather than several weeks which is typical for adults.
I am getting a little worried about this, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
