[QUOTE="Phil, post: 178873, member: 4151"] All the advice so far is spot on. Speaking from many years experience and I use this a lot, I prefer the 'Jurassic Park' method. I will explain....Feeding the T-Rex a goat, Dr Alan Grant says....: [B]T[/B]-[B]Rex doesn't want to be fed[/B]. He [B]wants[/B] to [B]hunt[/B]. Can'[B]t[/B] just suppress 65 million years of gut instinct. Point being, live prey and hunting is better then pre-killed or maimed prey. Rule of thumb when I am feeding live prey is that it is usually no bigger than the size of the abdomen of the spider. As the spider grows, so does the size of the prey. I also recommend that if you have lots of crickets left over that just die in the tub, get more spiders to eat them! Food bill is the same whether you have one or one hundred. LOL [/QUOTE]
