I'm new to keeping tarantulas, having got my G. Pulchra three weeks ago, and my Red Knee today.
This is the first feed my Pulchra has had as she wasn't interested in her locusts that she came with, so I tried her with a lively cricket and she had it in her mouth less than an hour after dropping it in there.
She has moved slightly the past 24 hours, but is still holding the cricket in her pedipalps with her fangs in it. There is webbing on the floor near her.
Is it normal to take this long to ingest prey?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm just starting out and this is my first feed.
