My tarantula isn’t eating

[JackV]

Now I understand my tarantula might simply be in pre-molt, but he isn’t threat posing, or anything, just letting the cricket walk around him and in his web. Is there a reason for this or am I just overthinking it?

Probably just isn’t hungry ?

If showing no interest in feeder cricket,
suggest removing cricket, especially if in premolt.

Does he have a water dish? Does he use it? I like to leave a few drops on the webbing near them from time to time.

What are the temperatures in your room? They eat less when their metabolism is slower.

The larger/older he gets the longer his premolt and post molt periods will get...

Is it hydrated? Maybe not hungry….

maybe he/she is filled with boredom. (say with a Russian accent)

4 walls - who wouldn’t be

I observed them in the wild, no different behavior either hah

If it ain't eating, it's either full or in premolt. Simply pass that cricket around to another T. Don't have a 2nd one yet by chance ? Don't worry, in time you will

Yea, I have another tarantula to give it to, and I’m not just leaving it in there
