Hey guys, my Avic. Juruensis has been a great experience so far. However, typical measurements of nutrition are considerably more difficult given the size of the specimen, so I was curious if there are more behavioral suggestions to hint possible malnutrition. I've fed it about three to four times now since ancquiring it on January 26th, with the past incident having very little proof that they have actually consumed a bit of it. The prekilled worm did move slightly, and when I took it out I've noticed it was webbed, but that's more of a theory if anything. As of recently, it has been confined to its web cocoon and moving very little, only to readjust once in a while - in other words being a tarantula. Am I worrying to much, or should I try to provide food more often? The general consensus is that if hungry enough, even for being a .5" sling, they'll go out and scavenge. My suspicion is premolt, but the typical way to gauge such is a lot more difficult when dealing with such a small spider. Thanks guys, sorry for the newbie questions lol - I'm on my third tarantula and still scratching my head.
