Day 3 - Crazy Spiderling

Decided to give the C. fasciatum a cricket last night and he was on it in an instant! He looked a bit hungry. Today he has been burrowing a bit, and we looked just now and he is head first into a burrow that was started a bit for him.

On the other hand, the B. smithi managed to, somehow, move over to the other side of his seperator last night! Couldn't work out how he'd done it! But never the less he looks fine, and seems to be preparing for moult as there is some sign of webbing and is staying in one spot. We also decided to make their substrate a little dryer, by adding some dry substrate. The humidity levels were a bit too high, as measured with a hygrometer in an equally substrated empty pot.

Day 2

Later in the day yesterday, I decided to move the B. smithi into another tub, so I could open the lid easily and monitor it's feeding easily. The tub is a bit big, so it has a splitter down the middle. I'm also wiping off the condensation that appears on the lid, just so it isn't too himid.

The C. fasciatum is in the film canester, and was quick to pounce on a cricket yesterday. This spider is generally being quite relaxed, but has been ambling about. The Red Knee is not interested in food at all, I gave him a cricket again this morning but removed it after 15 mins because he simply wasn't interested, the cricket went up to him about 5 times and the spider was like "Nah I'm cool, not hungry" So it's probably going to moult, he has the tale tale dark patch on his abdomen!
