Message: <blockquote data-quote="foritxxar" data-source="post: 34474" data-attributes="member: 3393">Hey all.I've noticed my g. pulchripes sling has been tackling prey with... let's call it "vigor." I started to offer it food daily as a response and it's eaten nearly every meal offered (it's only refused one meal in seven days). It even ate twice today when my girlfriend fed it a bit after I did. From what I've read, tarantulas don't overeat, so my question to you is this: is it safe for a sling to eat daily? If not, why? Also, why would it possibly overeat?I'm going to hold off on feeding the little fella for a couple days just in case. It's just so hard not to drop a roach in there knowing Nugget'll chomp it up in seconds.</blockquote>
