Still there are other choices. Crickets won't last longer then a week in my experience even if you supply gel and food.Mealworms and super worms also work. Wait until the T builds a web and drop them right in dead center. Do NOT place them with tongs. Drop them in and gently but quickly close the cage.In my opinion, you don't want to play "battle tongs" of war with an old world species.</blockquote>
