Hi everybody

[JennieStrife]

Hi I'm Jen from the UK.
I'm a noob at spiders and only have slings and jumping spiders at the moment.
I love the arboreals but I also have a couple of terrestrials.
I know no one in to this so I am dead excited to talk about tarantula and true spiders with you all!
Thank for having me.
Jen

Yes, not an issue. Personally, I use my local Jollyes. I have just over 100 T's & buy 4 tubs of differing sizes of crickets each week. It's 4 for £8. Every few weeks, I swap a tub of crickets for a tub of mealworms.

My local Jollyes receives 3 deliveries a week. Monday, Wednesday & Friday. But not on bank holidays.

I used to use Pets at home, but for me, they became unreliable & had so many dead crickets in their tubs. Other branches may be different.

I have tried keeping roaches as food for my T's. But found I my T's took them less often, than they do crickets. So I now only keep a couple of species of large roaches as pets.

Blimey. I have 9, will be 11 shortly.
I don't know what a jollyes is. I'm struggling with exactly what you say. I can only get decent feeders from the spider shop.

Jolleys are a chain of pet stores & depending upon where you live you can buy crickets etc from places like reptile stores, as well as the big chains.
