Greetings!
I purchased a Brachypelma Smithi ½” spiderling last November and it has only eaten twice. The first time it ate was shortly after arrival. I gave it a Red Runner nymph, which came with the starter kit. It ate once again about a few weeks later when I gave it a very small piece of pre-killed mealworm.
Since then I have tried giving it very small pieces of pre-killed feeder insects including crickets and mealworms but it has not eaten them. It’s been about six months since it last ate and I’m becoming a bit concerned.
What are your thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!
