Night Crawler

[Sbirtell1]

Hey everyone! So last night I gave my female Brazilian T a single night crawler. It was about 3 inches in length. I know she started eating it last night under the hide, and today found her in the opposite corner of the tank under her tree with about 25% of it left still left in her mouth. She ate a good most of it. Is this normal? Was it too much for her? What should I do at this point? I’m not bothering her, and she isn’t really moving. This is all new for me.

Thanks for your help!

She'll stop eating when she's full.

I have seen some of my tarantulas carrying around a superworm for quite a while. It kind of reminded me of when a dog or cat is proud it found something and likes to parade around with it in its mouth.

Lol that’s kind of cute in a gross way!

I feed Dubia to my Theraphosas and have been over zealous in size selection a few times especially if I'm pushing for a molt.

If they haven't dropped it, I surely don't try to take it.

How messy was the worm feeding? My SO is raising up a PacMan frog so we now have nightcrawlers around and have thought about trying them. Just something else to add for feeder diversity
