I've had a Platythomisus spiderling thats about a half inch for about 5 days. It won't eat. I offered it fruitflies and pinheads. It's abdomen looks really small to me. I was hoping that it is in premolt but I'm growing more concerned each day. Does anyone have experience with these?

Curious if this spider ended up making it.
