After my Cyril, my Chilean Rose departed for spider heaven, I decided to get a new little boy.
Along came Otto (Italian for eight), the Brazilian Black Spiderling. Around 8 weeks ago he stopped eating. 3 weeks later my wife and I went shopping one day, only to come back home to find we had missed Otto molting - typical.
I am just a little concerned though, as he hasn't eaten anything since. He seems happy enough in his own little world, but you only want the best for them, don't you!
I thought he would of been hungry after molting, so offered him the smallest cricket that I could find - this was after a week. Was I right to do this? He never ate it though. All the subsequent crickets have been removed after 24hours in with him
If anyone can shed some light on this, I would be extremely grateful. Also is there any other food stuffs I can try him on?
In advance - many thanks.
Will
