There's a reason they are still the staple feeder in this hobby. I know people who have been in this hobby 30-40 years and have used nothing but crickets.Not all tarantulas will accept roaches, plus they're illegal in certain parts of the world. Not sure where the OP is located, but locusts are illegal here in the U.S. Superworms and mealworms can be a pain to deal with because they burrow, and those jaws can do serious damage to a molting or recently molted tarantula.</p></blockquote><p></p>
