Message: <blockquote data-quote="josh.djt" data-source="post: 237707" data-attributes="member: 49475"><p>So im  slightly new to taking care of tarantulas ive had a few in the past months. 2 slings have passed sadly one took a fall and the other i wasnt sure about just passed away. but my question is about feeding, how often should i feed them, there are 3  juveniles at different sizes and 1 sling. is there a way to tell when they are hungry and need feeding? can i tell when they have a healthy looking abdomen because im not sure how to tell if they look healthy or not. and what should i feed them. ive been running them off silent crickets since i got them all and sometimes they dont eat them so they die and i have to take them out. should i crush the crickets head and kill it to feed to the tarantula or should i put alive crickets in there for the tarantula to find. i do have a poorly T atm but i have another forum for that, i just had some questions about how i should feed my Tarantulas. Thanks.</p></blockquote><p></p>
