Hey everyone!
I my h. Pulchripes have been concerning me a little, she hasn't eaten for a long while. She drinks water but is completely uninterested in food. I tried switching from dubias to super worms but no reaction, she just let's the worm crawl underneath her and moves away. He doesn't have that typical baboon attitude either. (She had it after she molted whenever i came close to her burrow she have me that threat pose every single time.) No reaction what so ever when I try to gently "poke" her with brush.
I am very certain that it is not premolt since she molted 16.11. At that time her colors were dull and she was very sluggish(just like now)
But her colors now are birght, just the way it should be.
Here are dates when she ate last times:
02.12, 07.12, 11.12, 19.12 (here is a break since I wasn't home at that time) 09.01 after that I moved her to new enclosure and she stopped eating. First I thought it was just acclimatization thing but I moved her on 11.01...
If you need pictures of anything let me know and I'll post them. I'm very worried since i know baboons are know to very rarely refuse food, and being rather defensive, where as mine is more passive, doesn't care at all.... I think I should also note that she is not old, i think it's a young adult, a little too young for a fast period imo, also this species isn't known to fast. I also thought that it could be a winter thing, but my other tarantulas and jumping spider eat and behave normally.
