Hi guys ive been to the BTS Brittsh Tarantula Society and ive come back with 5 p rufilatas this is my first attempt at a communal I will be learning as im going along i will keep this post updated and share my personal experiences.
DAY ONE so all 5 spiders are roughly third instar spiderlings, bought them separately but have come from the same sack. I have transferred all five into a small terrarium and not one of them went for each other. I immediately put 5 crickets in, three of them took the crickets down straight away (these little fellows are nutters) one of them launched himself into the water bowl after a cricket and dragged it out. One thing I have noticed is it is quite amazing that they know what prey is and what is not.
They have interacted with each other for example touching legs two of them even walked over each other (amazing) and no aggression has been shown towards one another. I will keep them well fed, any useful feedback is welcome and I will reply to this post with updates in a weeks time.
