I also ordered 50 assorted red runner roaches as I’ve heard they are a great food source for Tarantulas of all sizes and I received them this morning. I am keeping my Poecilotheria in a deli cup for now as it is a 1” sling. It has a piece of cork bark to climb on and a bottle cap for a water dish. I put a small red runner in there and it attacked!! Nice takedown.I then put a red runner nymph in the half inch H. Gigas enclosure, which is a tooth pick bottle which is a bit bigger than a good size pill bottle, and it attacked as well. The LP is in an average size pill bottle and it is a bit too small to take down a nymph red runner so I put a pre killed nymph and I cut a small piece of a meal worm and put in there and it was already scavenging on the nymph. I’ll remove what’s left tomorrow. But so far everything is going great with my slings and I feel great about it!</blockquote>
