Baby mealworms in Tarantulas enclosure?

[Jarrett K]

Ok so I'm going to need a bit of help on this. I ended up feeding a darkling beetle to my pink toe about a week or two ago, and now looking in the enclosure I can see little tiny baby mealworms around the entrance of his web and in the substrate of the enclosure. Should I be worried?

Nope. I'd collect as many as I could and put them in a container with some oats or something, I forget what they feed on..the few you dont get will either get eaten or pupate into beetles. I remove beetles, most tarantulas dont like them. They will chomp on a molting t in a heartbeat, they eat anything.

I've already tried picking them out of the enclosure but their as small as a grain of rice, it is very difficult. I'm hoping that they will all die off from a lack of food.

Most likely thats what will happen, unless theres somethimg to eat. Like boli or poop.
