Just got my first ever tarantula after doing a lot of research.
I am a little worried about him as he’s not moving from the corner of the tank with his legs kinda scrunched up above his body (I have read up that this is because of the stress of moving). He is not eating and appears scared of the insect (the pet store told me he has not eaten for a month and molted about a week ago). He was in a tub when we bought him that was very warm so I have a 15watt heat mat for him as I live in the uk and my flat is often cold. I am also worrying that he is dehydrated any tips on that? He has a shallow water dish but as he has not moved I don’t think he realises it is there. Nor has he been in his hide as im not sure he knows where it is.
He is right up against the heat mat (I believe he may be cold)
