You never want to feed your Tarantula more than 1 prey item at a time, and you want to remove any un-eaten prey after 24 hours.As far as your housing, Tanks are really poor enclosures for a Avicularia(pink toe). It's very hard to keep heat and humidity high in them. you'd be better with a nice clear Food storage bin, with holes drilled into the side.Eating a prey item for 24 hours is nothing to worry about.please feel free to ask any questions you might have, and we'll do our best to answer them. Be warned though, tarantulas are addictive.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
