tarantula has trouble hunting

[Harry]

It has been more than a week and my G.rosea has hardend, but the crickets won't go near herand she is eating cricket parts wrapped up in webbing.

How big is your G. rosea?
Depending on the size of the T, it could be more than a week before they are eating again. Don't worry, give it a little more time and your T should get back into it's normal routine.

Disable the crickets...or you could give waxworms or mealworms. Whe I give mealworms, I usually crush the head so they cant burrow into the substrate. Good luck.

It just might need a little more time, a T knows when it is ready to hunt again.

My rosie doesn't eat a month and a half before she molts, and doesn't eat after for 1 1/2-3 weeks. Don't be worried if she won't tackle a cricket just yet, I'm sure she's fine.

thanks for all your suggestions. My t ate a ckicket only before she ate the cricket I had found the cricket hanging upside down on the celing of her log using only a few feet and the rest of the feet were hanging limp from the cricket's body. I wasn't there to see the tarantula eat the cricket. Anyway I'm worried if the cricket was poisond by something other than t venom.
