For most of the three months I have had tarantulas I have been feeding them incapacitated superworms. A few times crickets, but for the longest time my now 2_3" + Ts were skittish and ran to the hide when I went to feed them. Also there was a lot of time spent in hiding. They all seem more active above ground ( summer heat I guess) so I will be trying more crickets, when I can get some of decent size. I likely will try to drop a cricket nearby and hope they sense it. I am perhaps overly cautious about tong feeding them out of concern for fang-metal tong interaction.
