Message: <blockquote data-quote="Heretic" data-source="post: 226378" data-attributes="member: 41495"><p>Yeah the theory is if you tong feed and always tap the cage prior to opening it to tong feed it will come out for its food.  It "knows" to look for the tongs and not wqait for the vibrations on its webbing.  If you open the cage without taping it, the T will ignore you. This would be the learned behavior. So the T has learned food comes in two ways, on the ground triggering the web and from the sky after it feels the tap on the top.</p></blockquote><p></p>
