Honestly, feeding a T stirmi is the easiest part of husbandry. The 4x4x7 is something more suited to an arboreal species.Jamie's has 4x4x5 enclosures for juvenile tarantulas. These guys grow so always have the next size up in mind.  In my opinion, they are an advanced species so make sure all your husbandry is correct. There's a zillion threads on that. Beware of the urticating hairs!!Despite the hassle, they're a great species to own.  You're actually doing it the right way, getting a sling. I rescued mine from a pet store.</blockquote>
