i would go ahead and refill his water dish if you haven't done so..
and i think seth might be right and he may be about to molt... but make sure he has water! and don't bother him. :)
3 meals a day is a lot for a tarantula.. they don't need to eat that much.. i feed mine one good sized insects a week.. a couple if they are still growing.

hope he's okay!! please let us know..

I also agree with refilling the water. Just make sure it's luke warm - room temperature. Sending you positive and well wishing vibes for both you and Seth. :)

Lol, Lindsey was referring to my answer. I'm Seth, not the tarantula. ;) But if the OP wants to name the spider after me that's fine too. :D
