5 feedings in 5 days...? Too much?
Thanks for the advice! I'll hold off feeding until next week/weekend.I'd say yes. Tarantulas are opportunistic eaters and will eat until they get too fat - Fat tarantula is prone to injure it's abdomen because it can no longer hold it up when walking and keeps dragging it on the ground.
You need more spiders....5 feedings in 5 days...? Too much?
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to give me some advice.It doesnt need to eat everyday, not even every week. They thrive better on a low and slow feeding schedule. I feed my spiders (depending on the size) once a week clear up to once a month. I never deal with spiders fasting or not eating due to premolt. I hardly ever see that. Spiders can only grow so fast. Soon you will be posting "why isnt my spider eating". Well because its waiting for its growth cycle to catch up to molt. Just a little info to help you out...
