[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 188009, member: 3872"] I always opt for live as early an age as possible. Live prey stimulates a good feeding response. Of course you need commensurately sized feeders to feed your Ts. You can't feed a live prey item larger than your T, and even when properly sized prey is offered, some Ts are intimidated by live prey that is "too large" for their comfort. If you cannot locate appropriately sized live prey, like for tiny slings, then dead is fine. Spiders are opportunistic feeders that are not above foraging. [/QUOTE]
