Avic Avic feeding ?

[MissKitty]

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried to feed the dry mealworms to there tarantulas. I have a spiderling versicolor and right now she's just been eating Pinhead roaches and I just wondering if she would eat those dried mealworms because I really don't have any used to get a whole bunch of mealworms and she's still small yet so I was just wondering maybe she might eat those if anybody else has had any luck with those or if they have to be live

Not an avic avic but okay. I wouldn’t feed them those. They might be hard to digest if they are dried out. Mealworms already have hard exoskeletons.

No Tarantula should eat dried mealworms they have no nutritional value they have to be live -that's the way it goes if you have to buy feeders for your T they need them so must be fed the correct diet to thrive otherwise you will compromise your tarantulas health if trying to cut corners with their care its just not worth it
carry on with the roaches if I were you
