How do i know when my burrowing tarantula is hungry?

[Aqual]

Do they go towards the enterance of its burrow?

 

[Chris LXXIX]

In general, yes. But there's always to consider everything. My obligate burrowers are out (mostly near the burrow main entrance) sometimes at night time, but not always because they are hungry.

Which Theraphosidae, btw?

Ah. I was thinking about H.gigas, S.aruana, P.muticus etc

Well, I wouldn't disturb him/her. Those are great eaters, if yours is in the burrow maybe he/she's in pre-molt or else.

@cold blood beat me to it

Remember that tarantulas are all ambush predators. They wait for an unlucky meal to happen by, meaning they don't go hunting in the same way tigers do. Tarantulas do, however, show hunting behavior as CB's post demonstrates. Tarantulas can wait up to and beyond a year for their meal, meaning they can "hunt" by simply waiting by their burrow. Something will crawl by eventually.

You should see my AF E. sp. Red hunt her prey. She stalks it like a tiger!

If she's sitting at the entrance to her burrow with a knife and fork.... she might be hungry
