I personally don't handle my tarantulas, as the risk of injury or death is greater than the satisfaction of holding them for a few minutes. As for the feeding question, I'd recommend 1-2 crickets once a week hand-fed to her for a tarantula her size. Another good feeder is Dubia roaches, as they have a little more nutritional value than crickets and also will not do any harm to your spider if it's molting.Good luck!</blockquote>
