So I got my P audax, Marceline, around 4 months ago. She (not sexed but I call all my spiders she before I can tell lol) was around i3 (I know now that that's kinda young to ship). Always had a bit of trouble hunting but has kind of taken a turn for the worst recently. She molted fine twice with around 30 days in between. About 3 weeks after the second molt she stopped eating (as to be expected). Offered a couple fruit flies every week just in case but she didn't eat for over 50 days and got really skinny and shakey. We've kinda gone into ICU mode and have gotten her to drink honey water and eat prekilled mealworms guts a couple times. Her abdomen is looking a bit better, and I saw her poop but her behavior hasn't improved. She has a lot of trouble climbing, waves her front legs around a lot (not in the normal jumper way), and spends a lot of time on or near the ground. It's been around 70 days since her last molt. Temp is usually around 22 celcius/71 farenheit with little to no dip at night. I spritz the wall of the enclosure a couple times a week so she can drink of the wall and wet the moss when it starts to look too dry. I have 10 other spiders (true spiders and tarantulas in the room and they're all doing fine). Enclosure is 4x4x4 inches. I put the q tip in there to help her climb onto the ledge cuz she likes to bask there. Any help is really appreciated. So sorry for the length of the post just hoping that the more info I give the better my chances of keeping her alive
