[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 127659, member: 26980"] Every other day is to much & if a feeder is ignored for to long it might attack your tarantula. I have fast growing slings kept in the 80s & they only eat twice per week. Try twice a week. If the feeder is still there 24hrs later, once per week. The critical thing to do is to make sure that the water dish is at least half full. Those guys are a dry species. It's probably not necessary to pour water on the substrate or overflow the dish, BUT never let it run dry!! Probably once a week is just fine one like that. The feeder should be 0.75 the body size of the spider as measured between the fangs and spinnerets or so I've heard. Full disclosure: I don't own that species yet. [/QUOTE]
