Eresus Walckenaeri not leaving web and not eating.

[PoorDoddle]

I got my girl 16 days ago and she never left her web as far as I have seen and she also refused food 3 times now. I try not to disturb her often but I am extremely worried since I can't really find information about them. The one she outside is when I first put her in the enclosure and there is cocopeat under the barks.

hey. this is normal behavior. leave her alone, she is going to molt. once she molts she’s will start eating again

There’s nothing to worry about you simply can’t force it to do anything, neither leave web or eat! It will be helpful to read up about ecdysis and arachnid life cycle so you understand how to go about managing feeding and molting as it’s not different for Eresus.

It will eat when it’s ready to, likely not before that. Until then wait.

Luckily,your spider isn't dying (see:death curl) just a little shy as it might be molting. Wait 1 week-1 month before feeding it again
