feeding

Hey! My P.Irminia baby just molted (2nd molt) almost 2 days ago... she's at her entrance waiting for food, and when I misted her enclosure, she jumped out and scared the ever lovin life outta me. SHE says she's ready to eat, but I don't want to risk injury. What do you suggest for waiting and...

Today marks the day where I fed Bluey for the first time. The power this T has at such a small size is just phenomenal, super fast as well! Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post and as always, suggestions, advice, tips and general discussion is always appreciated.

My T. Albo, Big Ounce, enjoying a tasty Dubia! I love this fluffy lil fella lol. Have a great day everyone!

My nephew bought a tarantula without his mother's permission and long story short, he got caught and my sister gave the spider to me because she can't stand them. I have some experience with exotics, but I've never cared for a tarantula before, however I do have the disposable income to set up a...

Hello :] I know this is very silly, but I recently got a new tarantula, a Trinidad Dwarf juvenile, and I've been having some issues/concerns about feeding her. She's my first tarantula old enough to eat live food, but I'm not super sure of how to do that? I don't feel comfortable leaving live...

I generally stick to the rule that prey should be a little smaller, or half smaller than your tarantulas abdomen, but what about feeding larger prey, then waiting a longer time to feed them than you usually do? Like say i fed my dwarf T thats 3”, and her abdomen’s about a little under a 1”, a...

Hello, I have a mature male Salmon Pink, he’s been with me for a while now and he’s my first T. He had his ultimate molt a little while ago now, I would say 3 months, maybe. And I’ve noticed he barely eats, which is normal as I understand male T’s stop or slow down eating after maturity...

I got a 1/2 inch B albiceps sling roughly three weeks ago. I keep it in a top ventilated 50 dram vial filled halfway with sub. It has a hide, moss, and a water dish. Half the sub is kept lightly moist. I see it moving around sometimes, just yesterday I caught it grooming near the water dish...

I've had a pink toe tarantula for almost 6 months now, and the only way he will eat is if his worm is placed in his web. He molted a couple weeks ago, and I had to clean out his web because he got too big for it. He hasn't started building a new web, and also won't eat. I've tried putting his...

Please excuse me as I'm still fairly new to the hobby, and this is my first tarantula. It's a juvenile GBB of undetermined sex. I've tried feeding it once a week post-moult, but so far - it has expressed no interest, with the exception of semi-grabbing a roach. I've also tried feeding it...

Hello all, After months of deliberation, I have finally acquired my first tarantula. It’s a B hamorii that’s about a half inch, I would say. Its abdomen is bigger than I expected it would be, and now I’m squarely conflicted on whether to feed it or wait a week or two. I need some more seasoned...

I bought this Avic about 6-8 weeks ago. I got it unsexed & appx. 3". It was VERY inexpensive, so I was a bit surprised, but I tried not to look a gift horse in the mouth & just be grateful. I did notice that "her" abdomen was very, very skinny, however, the seller couldn't tell me when she had...

Hey all! Newbie here - but not a newbie to tarantula care - but newbie to my baboon T. "Spooks Deville". I thought this might be a good place to get some insight on the habits of this species. It seems as though she has built herself a barricade at the opening of her little hut and webbed the...

Feeding time for this one.

Gnarly fangs

Today was feeding day and this gal surprised me by completely ignoring the roach I offered her, ran down my arm, and plucked the largest roach out of the feeder cup. She then placidly walked back into her enclosure and feasted. She is now my favorite. (Hyllus diardi)

So i was feeding my pink toe and i accidentally dropped two crickets in his tank (one was medium and the other a bit larger) hes about the size of my thumb, and im not sure if i should be worried and try to remove the other one, or just leave them be any suggestions?

So i got my pink toe tarantula about a month ago but wasnt entirely sure on the feeding of it, i read somewhere that its supposed to be fed once a day for four days then again after six or ten days but i wanted to make sure its alright, can anyone confirm since i am new to this whole thing...
