[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 123522, member: 26980"] One trick to use with larger enclosures and small tarantulas + crickets is to get 2 bottle caps. Locate where the tarantula hides or hangs out most frequently. Put cricket food in one and hydration gel in the other. Put the bottle caps close to where the T hides. There are 2 benefits. First, the crickets stay gut loaded and are far less likely to molest the spider due to hunger. Second, in order to eat, the crickets have to go very close to the tarantula where the T can detect it easily and pounce. The large size of the enclosure thus becomes unimportant in terms of feeding etc. [/QUOTE]
