Hi all
I rehoused my Cobalt Blue about two months ago, and shortly thereafter she webbed up her burrow and refused to come out at all. I dropped the odd cricket in and kept her water dish full, but she did not come out to eat or drink at all and I ended up removing the crickets and giving them to my Smithi.
Anyhow, about a week ago she finally re-opened the entrance to her burrow, and sat waiting like she normally does for prey to happen along. However, I was a little alarmed to notice her abdomen had shrunk significantly, which meant she needed to eat!
I've been dropping in a cricket every time she pops her head out for the past week, which sometimes means 2 - 3 crickets every 1 - 2 days, which is lots more than normal. My plan is to ensure she fattens up a bit before reducing her food to normal amounts. Am I on the right track?
