So I got my jumper about two weeks ago and they said she ate the day before. She hasn’t eaten since and gets pissy and swats any crickets when I try to give them to her every few days after waiting a week. Her abdomen is nice and plump. Is she just not hungry?

That’s way too often of a feeding schedule unless it’s a baby. Any pics ??? If fat spiders don’t eat ..

She’s mature, they said to feed her once a week. She definitely got a big ol booty. Idk I just wanna make sure I’m doing stuff right 😭

They can be quite sassy sometimes, nothing to worry about.

I just tried to feed my P. audux yesterday, and it took the first cricket and then furiously swatted away the second cricket. Usually it eats 3. After trying for a bit, it started running away from the cricket with one in its mouth, so I figured it was fine.

this is the day I got her, her name is Cobwebb and I will literally die for her.
Yeah that’s pretty spectacular and there so intelligent spiders. Enjoy 😉!!!
I prefer Ts but jumpers are something I’ve kept before wild caught . I like them just as much as my Ts .Pesticides or something eradicated most of them here.. :( or they live in wooded areas which I don’t go too. I haven’t seen any in years or I’d get a picture. They Are stealthy hunters .

Noooooo, that’s literally so sad :( I’ve been trying to find some wild ones myself, though I’ve only seen like 2 or 3 In my life. I’m actually thinking about getting my first t when my paycheck comes in, my grandma doesn’t want me having true ts so I think I can slide with dwarf ones. She actually thinks the Brazilian Jewel is really cool but I’m not ready to drop 300 on a sling 🫣

Giant Ts aren’t Even that huge beside t blondi / stirmi check out my photos I got a few 7-8” Ts and they look 5/6” without measuring them . Curly hair don’t get that large 4-7” suggest those . A seemani I like too . Dwarf Ts are just as good as big ones .

Yeah if I could I would get a Mexican red knee or a pink toe. My parents got me one as a kid and I loved her. But grandmas house grandmas rules, for now….

yeah Idk, I don’t wanna really push it though cause it’s been a dream to start a t collection. I’ll take what I can get. And I’ll look into the minatrix!!
