QUOTE(Oldfart @ Jun 28 2009, 10:59 PM) Added on June 28, 2009, 11:22 pmTry a couple more times and see if there's any difference. So long as the T is still eating, it will get bigger eventually. I received a WC Chilobrachys with a very small abdomen. I fed it a bunch of crickets and her butt still looked small. Even after a roach, it did not look as big as I thought it would get considering the roach was quite big but slowly and surely her butt began to grow. Apr 14th  Eating a roach - also Apr 14th  Apr 16th-2 days after eating the roach and a few more crickets  Apr 18th- finally a noticeable size difference  woh...very good information bro..thanks...so,i'll always put some mealworm for the Sp.Blue.. well,nice Ts u got there..n healthy also...

QUOTE(Oldfart @ Jun 29 2009, 12:01 AM) BTW, I read something a few days ago on one of the forums. Seems a bunch a T keepers do not think mealworms should be a staple diet for T's. I'm not saying it is bad- just regurgitating what I read and putting it out there for further discussion. A while ago some guy also did an experiment and fed a group of T's mealworms and another group crickets. I think the cricket group grew faster. The experiment wasn't very scientific, don't think he weighed the prey items so maybe one group grew faster because the prey were bigger- I don't know. Either way, it doesn't affect me cause I use crickets- just because it is simpler for me to deal with.  really..? but my Ts are only 2-3inch..is it ok to feed them with a live crickets during that size..?

QUOTE(Oldfart @ Jun 29 2009, 01:58 AM) Save the rest for next week! Or if you have more than a sling, feed the legs to one and the rest to another(minus the head). A very small sling won't finish the whole thing but at least it is not a total waste. BTW, you can also freeze crickets to use later- good for slings. Just let it thaw out for a few minutes. wah..can put in freezer..? hahahaha..i'm afraid if mum will put the crix into a dish and serve it as dinner for me...

QUOTE(Oldfart @ Jun 29 2009, 02:26 AM) lol- good protein! Andrew Zimmerman eats this kind of stuff all the time! Added on June 29, 2009, 2:35 amYeah- saw someone pose this question recently somewhere. Don't remember seeing any replies to that thread. Haven't checked back on it recently. I'd feed my T's anything as long as they will take it but just as a treat. As a staple, i use cricks and roaches. Speaking of other options, I've a friend that fed his T's earthworms too- the ones they sell for fishing. He said his T's take them so I tried it on mine. Some will eat it and some won't. o0o0o....  ...earth worm also can..? is it contain the same protein like mealworms..? This post has been edited by east_wing: Jun 29 2009, 02:50 AM

QUOTE(Oldfart @ Aug 4 2009, 12:05 PM) Well I've been busy making enclosures. I ordered 2 sub-adult Haplopelma hainanum and 4 Haplopelma schmidti slings in mid June. Been a few delays but the vendor should be getting them in any day now. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 9.75"X9.75"X16 acrylic enclosure for the 2 sub-adult H. hainanum I'm waiting for.  And I've been trying to get rid of the black widows in my T- room- they are everywhere! I don't mind them when they are killing off the phorid flies but when they start breeding like rabbits and invading my T enclosures and roach colonies- that's where I draw the line. No more Mr. Nice guy! Black widow..? wow...it is dangerous..?? waaaa....... i also want to have one..  .. but have to make sure the container is really safe....
