Shelob, Scarlett, and Ginny are all tucked into a meal as we speak. BobbiSue is eyeballing a cricket piece from her burrow, and there is no sign of Arachne. She has been burrowed over a week, making some pretty impressive tunnels. She hasn't eaten in over a week. She went from my most active hungry T to my least quite quickly. I wonder if she's working on a moult?

very possible, possibly even likely.

Tsunami Rapunzel, Coppelia and money all had half each of size two cricket today. Well you would have thought money had won the lottery, his eyes lit up as he greedily snatched his half of the corpse, when he propped it up it was taller than him. I laughed so much my ribs are hurting still. There is something about money that just cracks me up, he eats loads but always looks weedy and he is such an active little thing . Tsunami and Rapunzel were not fussed and I didn't expect Coppelia to bother.

Glad they all enjoyed a tasty meal! Chaos looked the same with her big cricket, too funny when their food is so much bigger! Karina saved her dinner until last night (fed them on Sat), but she decided to eat on the glass instead of on her log...so I got an amazing view of how they masticate and devour their meal, it was pretty awesome to watch!

You have to see moneys face light up, it's hilarious. I had the cricket half in a match box and he heard me tap the cricket out of it and came hurtling out of his burrow ( money doesn't run, he hurtles. ) He looked round to make sure he wasn't about to be mugged by someone bigger then dived into it. I can't find a word for how funny he is. I'm glad you got a close up of princess Karina eating, I never get bored of watching them eat.

I just picture a whirlwind of legs LOL. I'd love to see a video of him running for his food

He is demented, even at his fattest before he moults he looks scrawny. When I look at him I think it's a miracle he survived the bundle in the egg sac when they hatched. Funny thing is that I'm sure he thinks he is normal and cool and smart

I love to see my L. parahybana drag a corpse as big as she is around her enclosure, having to use 6 legs to walk since the other two are too busy holding her food.

My B. Vagans is the most fun to watch, she wrestles whatever i throw in with her, she's usually on her back with all 8 legs wrapped around her meal for a good 15 to 20 seconds before getting back up.

 

[harleyqueen]

They sound like good fun to watch. I suppose we all love the greedy ones.

Noelle (rosie) is definitely our most greedy T, the first time I fed her I dropped two crickets in and she grabbed them both up and ate them simultaneously lol. Karina (a.avic) usually waits quite a while before she decides to take her meal; always the diva. I actually thought that Chaos (obt) would be the most ruthless at feeding time, but I have yet to see her take her food right away either..still haven't even seen so much as a leg sticking out of her mouth. All of them are nice and neat eaters, no left over cricket parts from any of them.

I just fed my T for the first time. She wasn't interested in the crickets until one literally walked right up to her. She leapt right onto it and then spun around to jam the second one in her mouth. I have a picture of her just after she caught them. If you look reallllyyy close, you can see the crickets in her grasp!
