And how quickly does Steve Nunn usually respond?Jigalojey usually responds in a day or two, Steve Nunn would be the best information source. IMO.

I would like to reopen this thread because my t never came out of her cave and it has been 5 weeks now, i am starting to get very worried.And how quickly does Steve Nunn usually respond?
Nope...There was one just discovered...but clearly not in the hobby....everything you will find will either be black or brown....or maybe grey.Does anyone know of some Australian Ts that are really pretty.
The issue is that because it is sealed away there is no way to tell if it is in the process of molting or if it is still soft from being post molt. Tearing into the Enclosure when not certain of the status of that can mean death or severe injury to the Spider if it is indeed soft or still molting.I guess these questions are more for me than anything.
If there is enough moisture and dead cricket down in that "coco peat" substrate to get the flies going, wouldn't it be a good idea to clean things out anyways? It seems like under those conditions mold and other things could be getting started down there really easily. In which case I would think a fresh start, with dry substrate and less feedings would be useful. And in cleaning it out, he would know whether or not his T is ok.
I got a australian featherleg tarantula (selenotypus sp. Plumipes) i have already drilled holes for its enclosure.What species did you get? I keep my tropical slings (never had arid) in Tupperware without holes to begin with.. probably a good idea.
As long as the holes are smaller than the carapace, you should be good. How are you feeding your sling? Slings can and will often scavenge pieces of crickets and roaches. It might be refusing food because it's getting ready to moult, the food is too large or you disturb it too much when trying to feed itI got a australian featherleg tarantula (selenotypus sp.

Also what are some ways to feed slings as mine refuses food
I will try putting half a cricket near its burrowAs long as the holes are smaller than the carapace, you should be good. How are you feeding your sling?

The baby crickets that are newly hatched are way too small to harm even a moulting tarantula. If you're really worried just remove as many eggs as possible, you'll be able to spot them easily even before they're big enough to be a threat to a moulting tarantula@cold blood
I failed to follow the rule of only leaving a cricket for 24 hrs then taking it out. in my adult females enclosure I went away for the weekend end I came back and the cricket I left there has layed eggs all over the enclosure. I can see the eggs because on batch is next to the walls of the enclousre and I noticed before I took the cricket out the it was sitting/digging in a small crater shaped hole, overall I found 2 main locations of eggs.
1- are crickets that pop out of the eggs harmful
2- is there a quick and easy way of getting rid of the eggs
3- how many eggs/batches does the mother lay
A quick response will be needed pls
