Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sorafromkh2" data-source="post: 220387" data-attributes="member: 39332">I generally stick to the rule that prey should be a little smaller, or half smaller than your tarantulas abdomen, but what about feeding larger prey, then waiting a longer time to feed them than you usually do? Like say i fed my dwarf T thats 3”, and her abdomen’s about a little under a 1”, a 2.5”roach or a micro pinky mouse? Than didn’t offer food for a while? I’ve heard pinkies damage smaller T’s fangs, which sounds reasonable, is that true?</blockquote>
