[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 56944, member: 1152"] I've had a couple species that would refuse larger, appropriately-sized prey items, as they seemed to be spooked by them. One of my Euathlus sp. reds was one of them. Drop in a larger cricket, and there was no interests; drop in a small one, and she was all over it. As juveniles, my M. balfouris would also refuse medium roaches and crickets but would readily accept small ones. I've now gotten into the habit of offering something on the smaller side to most of my new acquisitions to see what they'll take. Just something to think about if she doesn't eat right away. [/QUOTE]
