[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 160039, member: 29323"] How often I feed depends upon the size of the crickets I have. From what I have read, the best way to see your T's is to keep them fed, but not over fed. Like that you are more likely to see natural behaviour, with them in the entrance to their burrow/hide waiting for any passing food. If they dig a burrow & my Lasiodora parahybana did, they can burrow it's self away from sight. Which is what mine did for the first few weeks of our ownership of it. It then molted underground & has been out much more since. My L parahybana is not the biggest eater I own. And I try to remove any crickets within minutes if it does not eat them, as when they do eat, they are onto thier food very quickly & eagerly. I feed a standard cricket once a week or smaller crickets twice a week. My LP is around 3- 3.5 inches. [/QUOTE]
