[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 140102, member: 27677"] I guess you just have to keep what you get alive for as long as possible. Space and ventilation (low humidity) is the key. It may seem like a colony of feeder insects is overkill but realistically it can jyst be a critter keeper that you add fresh vegetables to twice a week. Certainly breeding crickets would not be worth it but keeping them alive and healthy is not difficult. I would have to say that mealworms would be easiest if your spider will take them. I add carrot and other veg twice a week and add extra oats twice a year, every few years I do a complete clean out and "re-set" the system. There's no offensive smell or noise, rolled oats (the substrate and food) and veggie scraps don't cost much. Something to consider anyway. [/QUOTE]
