Message: <blockquote data-quote="Matthew" data-source="post: 134303" data-attributes="member: 27791">Well after that superworm episode and the fact that I can't seem to get turks anywhere local I decided to try feeding crickets and so far it has worked out.  My spider is much quicker to snatch up the crickets than he was the worms.  There were times it would be hesitant or just outright refuse a worm even though I knew it had to be hungry.  With the crickets each time I drop one in they get snapped up almost before they even hit the web.  I'd still prefer the turks but I guess crickets will work just fine for me if they keep evoking such a strong feeding response.[MEDIA=youtube]KexRsDdW3pA[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
