How often does a rose hair tarantula eat?

Answer 1

They molt frequently when they are young, their first molts, or "instars", can occur once every 2-4 weeks. But after the spider is sexually mature, that is, you can tell what sex it is, they generally molt once every 1-2 years. I bought a 4 year old female about 1 year ago and she still hasn't molted. Don't worry if your tarantula is a bit behind, every spider is different.

Answer 2

This depends on the age of the Tarantula. While younger tarantulas will molt much faster about every two months, the adults will molt about every one or two years. The older they get the less they molt.

Answer 3

Tarantulas act on instinct. That said some species handle being held better than others. However, handling will stress out all tarantulas and should be done as little as possible. For a rose hair it's ok to handle if you need to clean the cage or want to show friends. But just know each T has their own personality and you should take that into consideration when holding.

Happy holding!
