Hello all!
(A little background) I'm new to the hobby of spider keeping, this being my first species. About a week ago I found a nice sized what i presumed to be "Hogna lenta", Still unsure of the exact species. It had eaten well up until a few days ago, when it started to avoid all food. Today i walk in to my room to find her with a egg sac! Now she has lost quite a bit of size and still will not eat. I had tried feeding a live cricket, till it tried to get the sac. She has not touched a dead cricket.(I have had it in there for 2 hours.) I'm unsure of what to do from here and sacred she may eat her sac! I will attach a quick photo i took. Will update with better picture soon. Any tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys.
