hello people.
i've been lurking on these forums and elsewhere for a while and decided that i wanted to keep a tarantula.
Last week i bought a brachypelma boehmei (about 2-3cm long) and he lives under a piece of cork bark on a bed of vermiculite at the moment in a medium sized petpal
I haven't seen him since he moved in and was just wondering if this is ok? it's been about 5 days now and all i have noticed is that there is a large pile of vermiculite he has shifted into a corner of the tank after making his burrow bigger. But this was days ago and i haven't seen any signs of life since. should i be worried?
Also a feeding question, how often should i drop a cricket in for him? some people say they feed their t's once a week or 2-3 times a week and some people daily. should spiderlings eat more often?
thx for reading
