How should i feed my T?

[Chris Tyler]

So i bought some crickets and just put them in the enclosure with my T should i only give them to it 1 at a time or put a couple in all at once and just let them roam around till it's hungry?

Just put in one, if the spider doesn't eat it within 24 hours take it out. Never leave multiple crickets in an enclosure; they could and most likely would kill the T if it molted.

Feed it one at a time. Like Melodox said. wait 24 hours before removing it if hasn't been eaten. A well fed tarantula will have an abdomen a bit larger than its carapace. Its possible to feet a T 2 crickets simultaneously. wait for it to grab the first then drop the 2nd in and see if it goes for it .

Depends on the size of the T and the crickets. Large Ts can eat 2 at once no problem, 1 on each fang. Gotta size the crickets right for the T.
