Hello, everyone!
I have a doubt: my female curly hair (6 years old)is dealing with a grasshopper for one week now; looks like she gets scared by the grasshopper anytime she tries to catch her. The grasshopper is kinda big like my tarantula’s abdomen, so I thought it was ok. Should I take the grasshopper out of the tank or let her keep on trying?
Thanks ☺️

Always remove unwanted food after 2 days. Uneaten food can cause them stress. It is not like being in the wild, where food passes by, possibly, never to been again. They are shut in a small enclosure with it.

I have a few T's I need to give smaller food, as anything too big & they do not eat.

Will do! Thanks a lot for your advice! I’ll give her a juicy smaller roach
