Yes I got her at 1/4 inch she is now 1 and 1/2 inches very slow growingHad it for a year and it's still a sling? Is that even possible? Hope they come back so we can try to help.
I can’t seem to get pics to go up but I got her to move a little put water on her mouth partsCan you post some pics Diane ? Pics of entire enclosure and of the T
Last molt 42days ago wasn’t molting she ate 3 days ago, I have a spider room I keep warm Ty for caringWe're going to need more details to assist.
When did it last molt?
Pictures of the Tarantula and enclosure?
Temperatures?
Sorry been online with my spider sponsor trying to save herNow that it’s been around 3 hours since OP posted, I think it’s safe to assume OP isn’t moving either. Send help.

I lost an avic lately due to moult failure and did not curl up.I am leaning towards that is gone if it is not moving while on its back.Drop a bit of water on it mouth and leave it be on piece of DRY towel in its enclosure for few days.
