Questions about Feeding my Hapilopus Sp Colombia

So as you might already know, I've been caring for a Pumpkin Patch sling for the past few months and just relocated him to a bigger enclosure.... I ran out of crickets so I tossed a rollypolly I found outside into his enclosure. Do you think he'll go for it? I usually throw in live prey and wait until he feels it and eats.

Hi
no idea what a rollypolly is but in general its not adviced to feed wild caught pray items as you dont know what they have been exposed to. Lots of bugs have high resistance to chemicals and pollution while your tarantula is not so tolerant.
You should only feed pray items that are raised up for food and not wild caught.
Why risk it!
Regards Konstantin
