" how much for the cricket is left ? "

what do you mean by this ?

[scotttaylor]

is what is left so small it hard to see it as i carnt see any in his tank and its glass

[Colin D Wilson]

Neil, Scott is dyslexic.

Scott, if you've been putting food in the cage and the food is gone when you next look the the T has eaten it.
Sometimes they only eat at night so unless you stay up one night you might not see it eat.
There's not much of the cricket left when its finished eating it, only a little dried up piece that looks like a little raisin is left most of the time.

if the foods there the next day then it's probably going to stop eating and get ready to moult.

OK mate

[scotttaylor]

ty i hope its a wile be for he molts i only had him for a few weeks im a real nood lol

[Neil Ashby]

Im so sorry Scott , i didnt realise

[scotttaylor]

its ok i carnt spell at best of times lol

[Colin D Wilson]

Don't worry about it moulting Scott, if you keep the cage at the right temp and humidity like you have been, then the spider will do the rest on it's own

[Phil Rea]

Scott,

Occasionally you may see a hard compacted ball of prey remains that the T couldn't eat. This is called a food bolus (or prey bolus) and they usually stuff it into a corner of the tank

If you see it, take it out, because it can attract mould and mites.

Phil.

They sometimes dump it in the water too , my goliaths both do that !

[Harry Armstrong]

Yeh! mine seem to prefer dumping leftovers into the water, it's easier to spot.
Your gonna have to train your spids Scott.

Hi Scott.
My wife is scared of them too, in fact she says to me, the only time she isn't frightened of them is when she has the hoover in her hand. She worries me sometimes.
