So I have had my Oklahoma Brown Tarantula since January 2022. In the beginning when i got her (i think it’s a female although not completely sure) she ate probably like once or twice a week or once every two weeks. Now, since about April or May, she hasn’t eaten at all!
I have read the beginners thread and i know that tarantulas go into long periods of time where they don’t eat. But it still makes me worry! She always hides in her log and slightly burrows into her dirt. She hasn’t come out for months. I truly thought she was dead until my boyfriend lifted up the log and checked on her and she moved a little. We try to feed her small bugs like crickets and these small roaches that tarantulas eat but she has no interest in eating.
I guess i just need some reassurance that she’s okay, she is not overly aggressive or anything she just always hides and i never even see her drink water. Furthermore, her abdomen doesn’t look shriveled it looks big as always. She has lost a few hairs but i have not noticed any “flicking.”
