[QUOTE="Andy, post: 114769, member: 23094"] Well in my brief experience it all depends on your tarantula.. I have 2 giant white knee tarantulas. An adult about 2 years old( that I still don't know the sex of!) and a smaller female about half the size at 6months old.. To cut a long story short my bigger t has always been a bit selective with what it eats...it's scared of almost anything that isn't a cricket tbh!! The smaller female however is a totally different prospect... She'll eat anything she can get her legs on... Including the superworms that my bigger t was terrified of and the fairly large beetles they turn into! She has been extremely aggressive since the day I got her and probably wouldn't be a great candidate for handling but a fantastic feeder she most certainly is! I wouldn't put anything in her tank that could potentially harm her before or during molt but any other time she is more than capable of preying on just about anything you give her( within sensible reason). A born killer you might say!! As for my bigger t...he/she is more of a gentle soul... You might say on grand national day"Horses for courses" [/QUOTE]
