right, day 2, spider has hidden! corner of the tank is dense cover consisting of a retreat, half flower pot covered with twigs and moss, lots of places to hide apart from the actual 'den' , she is in there somewhere!
I have put 2 crickets in there and they went off and hid aswell! how will i know whats going on? any ideas?

She'll find them Hiding til she sorts herself out and settles in then she'll come out and be more active. Not to worry.

Perhaps you should get a cat or something if you want something you can interact with!!D

i think you miss the point clare, i was mearly concerned that my spider wasnt settling in properly, cats are a waste of everyones time
