[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 132503, member: 27677"] Yassou! Welcome to the forum! :) Lots of people cut mealworms up into small pieces to feed small tarantulas, I know from many pictures that it does work, but it didn't work well for me. Perhaps Australian species don't appreciate them as much as other species. At the size you say they should easily be able to eat small crickets. Some people like to remove some of the crickets legs to make them easier to hunt and kill. I cool my crickets in the fridge for 5 minutes or so before feeding, just so they are easier for me to catch, and if I cool them a bit longer the little spiders can catch them while they are still slow from the cold. Don't worry too much if they won't eat, if their "bottoms" are nice and round they will be fine for a long time. Welcome to the hobby! [/QUOTE]
