What is proper feeding time/schedule for a tarantula?

I feed my tarantula once every week with 6 medium crickets. I used to have three and feed them all the same. I think by feeding her you are taking the excitment of the actuall hunt. My tarantulas used to love hunting the crickets and still do. You should just dump them in the cage with her but also watch to make sure they are not eating her. Spiders are very weak and can get hurt very easily. She might also be tired of the crickets. Have you tried anything else? Maybe black crickets or meal worms? Where do you get your crickets? This can all play a factor in it. You never never want to feed a pet tarantula anything from outside as it might have poisons on it or in its system, only get your feeders from a trusted pet store. The molting sounds normal. You can expect it about twice a year till she gets older then it will slow down to about once a year. Hope this helps you, sorry it took so long to find your post.
