this is something i never even considered, that they might be night hunters, I mean my P. metallica is always out when im asleep, im kind of dumb for not at least thinking about this, I will test it out for science. unless someone knows already.
Tarantulas are primarily nocturnal. Most of my Ts ( and everyone elses) don't care,they will eat day or night.. I only have a few finicky individuals.

But yea maybe yours prefers to feed after dark.. Give it a shot..

all my other Ts will eat like monsters hungry for flesh, but QT3.14 Pokie just cant be bothered.

feel like most of my life is comprised of making my P. metallica love me *sad face emoji*o_O

Why female p Metallica is not a big eater is that normal for this species I give her a head smashed dubia ever week and the last time she ate that I know for sure was 2 weeks ago
Unless your T is lethargic or very skinny that’s plenty of dubia . You could give some adult pokies a dubia female or 2-3 male Dubai’s every 2-3 weeks and be fine .
