Hi,

I have a chilian rose tarantula who shed her skin three days ago. She is due
for a feed today, so I just wondered if there was any reason to hold off for
a period of time so close after shedding?

Any help or advice would be welcomed

She's in a very delicate state right now with her new exoskeleton
hardening. Her fangs are also hardening and she won't eat until
they're ready to be used. I let my red-knee go about a week or so
after a molt before feeding. They have no trouble going that amount of
time without food and it eliminates the potential stresses of other
live animals in her environment. I'd wait...

I waited until she was moving around again.
