[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 131531, member: 26980"] While not essential, I notice mine grow faster when fed a variety of food. The trouble with wild caught items is that creatures have their own natural defenses against predators and tarantulas may not have counter measures because they are not native to that area. Of course, pesticides and parasites are a concern as well. Why take the risk? Still, mayflies and some moths that mature into breeders and who are not capable of eating might not be too risky. Those mature, breed and die. [/QUOTE]
