Feeding question

[pinkice82]

I have a rose hair who is roughly 3-4 years old, I normally give her crickets when I pick some up for my other critters but last night I decided after talking with some other tarantula keeping friends that I would offer her a small rat pink and she went for it which surprised me as I have tried one with her before and she refused it well anyways its now been more then 24 hours and she still has ahold of it so should I be worried or just leave her be with it and remove it when she is done with it? Also just to note I will not be doing this on a regular basis.

Just check if she's done with it and remove the food debris immediately. Pinkies should only be fed like twice a year as they are high in fat and has adequate calcium content that could impede with molting

Thank you so pinkies are more like a treat for them?

Yeah, think of it as a birthday present to your T
