Checked on the ornata this morning at it was doing fully coherent laps around the ICU! It has lost a lot of weight though, the abdomen is tiny even though it has had access to liquid water in there.

Next step is to see if it will feed.

Edit: To clarify, the spider did not have DKS at all, and the DKS-like symptoms were most likely from being dehydrated.
I'm not exactly sure how this happened, as the other two are kept in exactly the same situation with dampish cocopeat and access to sprayed droplets on the side of the deli-cup.

I have offered a pre-killed roach for easy feeding.

Did the roach suffer from wallitis?

Glad the ornata is not suffering from dks.

Any luck with the feeding?

I just thought of another item that can be added to a dks questionnaire... Age of the tarantula.

Hehe!

No, too bouncy. They get prothraxectomies.
