[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 221687, member: 29323"] Welcome to the forum. Morioworms are a good high protein food, but are not good for regular feeding, as they are also high in fat. And being fat makes molting more difficult. mealworms or roaches again, with the head crushed or crickets make better food for regular feeding. When feeding Dubia roaches I find the best way to feed them, is by dropping them in on thier backs, as like that they move their legs more. Always removed any uneaten food after 24 hours, unless you have a T that takes longer to get around to feeding. I have a couple I leave food in for 48 hours. With morioworms, mealworms & roaches, crushing the head leaves them moving for the next 24 hours with ease & normally still moving after 48 hours. So nothing is lost crushing their heads & it stops your T from being bitten. Morioworms can bite, mealworm's change into darkling beetles & all pose a danger to a tarantula that is molting. So allowing even mealworms to burrow is a poor idea. Also, Darkling Beetles release a noxious gas when attacked. So they will not make a good food source unless their head has been crushed. [/QUOTE]
