so I'm currently using crickets to feed the few Ts that I have. I have a hamorii and a pulchra that are small slings and are happy with drumsticks. My vegans is having a blast destroying crickets, but my pulchripes isn't having as much luck. I'm not aware that he is eating killed crickets (not 100% sure he isn't) but I did catch a short video of him hunting a cricket but it was too fast.

Is it possible that he isn't interested in non moving food? Therefore should I change feeder to something that I can still feed to my other Ts without hurting them and something he can hunt?

He may not be interested, is his abdomen fat? It IS a Grammastola, and theyre known to be long lived fasters. My pulchripes juvie isnt much of an eater either..neither is my pulchra.

He is a decent size fairly fat. But because he was actively trying to catch the cricket I thought he might want to eat
