My tarantula is refusing food

[Yk96]

So i have a Pink toe tarantula im assuming its an adult i got her at petsmart the last time she ate was Feb15 and she hasn't ate since i took her out the cage Feb25 to hold her put her back and let her there she built a thick web and hasent move from there i went to give her food today and she kinda stumbled and was acting sluggish. I really dont know whats going on if she is in pre molt or not. HELP! She climbed back a little bit in her web

Can you get a clear picture of the pedipalps? You might have a mature male. Also, is there a constant water source? Most here will advise you not to handle tarantulas. It is very dangerous for them, especially an arboreal who could jump expecting a tree branch nearby to safely land on, instead of splat on the floor.

Tarantulas only need so much food, once they reach their fill, they no longer require food....even if it's many months....years for some.....the heavy webbing is a good indicator of pre-molt for an Avic, as this is when they do the most webbing by far.

Cant really see it good, but you can see 1 pedipalp and yes he/she always has a clean fresh water dish all the time and the conditions are 75 80% humidity with temparture conditions frok 70 80

Nothing unusual yet.

not all spiders eat when full.

at this point, your humidity numbers arent the issue. It would be the ratio of moisture in enclosure versus the ventilation ratio.

which i doubt are any reason for its current behavior.

its doing exactly what it should do. Nothing at all.

its safe in its little web. Its not hungry. Its being an Avic.

its abdomen is not in a bad way.

Not a mature male. Don’t worry about chasing humidity numbers. You can try to offer again in another week or two if she hasn’t molted. Avics don’t get as fat as terrestrials before molting. When suspecting a possible impending molt, I only offer prekilled. A mealworm with the head crushed dangling in a hole nearby can easily be removed if not pounced upon.
