Rose hair tarantula not eating??

Question

Okay so I have a Rose hair, and I try to feed her and she tries to eat, but she can't catch the crickets so she just gives up and they end up dieing, cuz she doesn't want to eat them. And it also seems she is a bit more aggressive. Any question to the sudden mood changes and such?

Answer 1

My rose hair is doing the same thing. Before, I would put her weekly cricket in the tank and she'd grab it and kill it so fast you'd miss it if you blinked. Now she just halfheartedly follows them around and occasionally makes a grab at it, but she seems to be either unable or unwilling to catch it anymore. I'll nudge the cricket in her direction with a hat pin when they seem to be eluding her, but she still just kind of reaches for it without bothering to catch it.

Answer 2

My rosie will go a whole month without eating. I've had her for 18 years now. I just go with the flow.
