[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 141187, member: 27883"] Opinions wil vary on this greatly. There isn't really a right or wrong way to do it. Many ways will work and keep the spider alive and healthy. To answer your question, no, you can't over feed one. If it isn't hungry it won't eat. Pinheads are fine for tiny babies but a 1.5" pulchra can take near adult male crickets or lateralis roaches. I generally feed them roaches that are about the size of their abdomen once every 4-5 days. I keep mine in my 80 degree reptile room and they molt right around once a month with my feeding and heating routine. Time to move up to larger prey for your baby. [/QUOTE]
