So, a few days ago I put in an order for a new curly hair tarantula. She (I think it's a she, haha..) just came in today and it's just a tiny little spiderling right now.
Now, my problem is, she won't move at all. Her legs moved a bit here and there throughout the day, and the store owners were a little bit worried about it, but said she should be fine. She is missing a patch of hairs on her bum, so I'm wondering if she flicked her hairs because she's starting to molt. What I'm worried about is that she might be super stressed out from being moved around all day, she was out in the cold for too long at some point (it's autumn right now), or vibrations from my car and the delivery truck were too much for her because she's so small. Maybe, I'm getting a little too worried about nothing.
If she is starting to molt, then I feel terrible about her being moved around and in the cold and I'm worried about how stressful that would have been for her and if that could have injured her somehow.
Now, I know when they flip on their back they are molting, and when they are dying they curl their legs under them. She was doing that for a while earlier.
So, yeah.. Any ideas about what's going on??
