Message: <blockquote data-quote="Martin Oosthuysen" data-source="post: 23442" data-attributes="member: 1070">Sorry to say, I am not swayed at all by the above statement. Maybe someone else would be, but I've used big and now I've adapted. So its working way better, you say food isn't so readily available I disagree since insects are all over and in huge numbers. As for tarantulas in the wild not being as fat as captive bred, I'm sorry that's a bold statement again and up for debate which i feel needs study to confirm that. I am stating here what I have definitely found to be better, when disagreeing at least try the option if you haven't done so then comment findings. To finish this, we all have our own ways, I'm just showing actual things I've stated to be true. Like you've said, different ways for different people ? And I said I am glad for that, and I'd gladly say it again.<a href="http://insected.arizona.edu/manduca/ins_many.html" target="_blank">http://insected.arizona.edu/manduca/ins_many.html</a>An interesting general observation of insect density, even though its not an exact indication, it gives a good idea of insect population.Another interesting note on insect population, and look what is estimated not the amount of insects but species.<a href="http://faculty.plattsburgh.edu/thomas.wolosz/howmanysp.htm" target="_blank">http://faculty.plattsburgh.edu/thomas.wolosz/howmanysp.htm</a></blockquote>
