Non-burrowers:

*cricket goes in*

*Tarantula makes mad dash to eat it.*

If it's the geniculata, then several crickets go in and she plays the "how many can I stuff in my mouth at once" game.


Burrowers:

*cricket goes in*

*cricket walks by burrow*

*Like Jaws rising from the depths, the cricket is grabbed and dragged down below to it's demise*


Arboreals:

*cricket goes in*

I eventually hear *thumpthumpthump* when the tarantula realizes dinner has arrived and goes to catch it. I don't usually see that part as I've moved on to feeding the rest.


I have a few feeding videos on my YouTube channel, if you care to watch :) (I love feeding vids)
