It's been at least a month and a half if not 2 months since my tarantulas have eaten, and I'm very worried about them. I have 2 Mexican red knees and a pink toe and all 3 of them refuse to eat, and they look really ill. The pink toe and one of the Smithis are barely mobile, they haven't moved an inch in weeks and they both look like they're beginning to starve. The pink toe worries me in particular, she's seemed to have shrunk in the abdomen and it looks very weird and has some unusual coloration (and the usual bright red
they have is very dull grey). Im aware tarantulas can survive a very long time without food but Im worried their health is failing, I don't think they're getting enough liquids either, one of the Smithis will drink all her water within a week but the others hardly drink any of it within 2 weeks.
I'm trying not to interfere and trying to leave them be so I don't stress them. I'm still kind of new to the hobby and I've never run into possible health issues before, I don't think they're in premolt because the behavior they've shown in past premolts is far different, plus it seems odd they'd all be in premolt at the same time. What should I do, are they risking starving to death? I've only tried to give them food twice and they've all refused both times, should I try again or will it stress them out?
