At the moment fang isn't doing much just moving from one end of the ceiling to the other trying to settle in and I never actually see him move no matter how long I sit there and stare it doesn't make him move, this tells me you have to be very patient with spiders.
fang hasn't eaten yet I've had him about 4 days I've been half killing crickets but fang doesn't eat them so will probably try one that's not so squished by the tongs in a day or 2. however I did spill a bit of his water bowl when changing it and a few drops got him wet
fang wasn't exactly angry but he had moved slightly and changed position so I will be more cautious when changing water or feeding if I could say there's one thing I need to improve on it's over worrying and patience.
the shop said don't feed for 48 hours and I've tried everyday since and he won't eat I know Ts don't eat a lot but I want to see him eat once out of curiosity and so I can make a note of his first feed and go from there.
Update: I left a live cricket with fang and when the cricket touched fang it bounced away. this may have annoyed fang slightly but it's encouraged him to come off the ceiling.
I was then told on one of my other threads to crush the crickets head and use the tongs I sorta nudged fang a little either with tongs or cricket due to shakey hands #phobia and he calmy went into warning pose. so I've left the cricket in front of him and I'm guessing the fact he didn't just munch it might mean he's not hungry and I think once I see fang take his food a few times I will be less shakey .
update: changed fangs water opened lid slightly too loud took my eyes off fang for a second as I opened it looked back and fang was back in his corner on the ceiling I've definitely been underestimating my new friend
