[QUOTE="syzygy, post: 94619, member: 4361"] A fellow Texan...nice. You can order online, but shipping will be a bit costly and crickets are hard to keep alive for more than a few weeks. Mealworms or superworms might work well for you because you can keep them in the fridge and they last a while that way. Another option is to start a roach colony that will replenish itself. A bit overkill for 1 tarantula, but likely the cheapest non wild food option. Lastly you can catch bugs for them...you just have to know that any bug that has been exposed to pesticide could kill your T. When I was young we had several T's and never feed them anything but wild caught crickets and grasshoppers and never had an issue. In college I knew that the crickets were likely poisoned so I had one T that lived off of bees for a couple years. Hope this guy pulls through...sounds like it found a good home if so. [/QUOTE]
