i got this T about 2 months ago.. from ken the bug guy, dont really know how old it is, it molted once and it is getting ready to molt again becuase it stopped eating. does any body know how fast thease Taratnulas grow it is a Grammostola rosea.

ive been feeding it 2 or 3 very small crickets every 5 days. i want it to get a little bit bigger so its easier to feed, sometimes the small crickets at petco are too big for it, so i have to buy a bunch of them and pick out the smallest ones.

you can just feed it any pre killed or pieces of a larger cricket. No need to buy a bunch. G.rosea grow very very very slow , its most likely a few months old

Ludedor is right, they grow incredibly slow. I've got a couple slings that have been a similar size to yours for a good few months.

well its about to molt again cuase the last two feeding it didnt eat, maybe it will be bigger with this next molt. what is it like two weeks untill it molts from the time it stops eating ????

While tarantulas will sometimes stop eatting before a molt it is not an indication It will molt. You can also not guage the time it stops eatting until its molt. Some will eat and molt the next day others will stop eatting several months before

Sometimes they grow A LOT right after a mold. It can be hard to believe that the T was crammed into the old shell!
