Yo! long time no come here chat chat liao!

My Tarantula now become my culling machine.
got many pinkies to feed them =D.
Want ask, is it ok to feed them pinkies frequently?

hmm,i always wish i could feed my tarantula with pinkies.crickets are really not enough..

breed ur own pinheads oso not enugh?@_@

There's a theory going around that mice/pinkies have too much calcium which can cause molt problems. As far as I know, this is still a theory. Perhaps you can raise one of your t's on pinkies and let us know if there are any problems!

malu plak die...


very aggressive this guy... seriously, almost bite me when i was rehousing it..




thats all folks...

Very nice! Always glad to see more peeps appreciating these pet holes!
I think the term 'pet holes' do a disservice to these T's cause they are usually quite visible- except for one of my cobalts, all my pet holes can be seen almost on a daily basis.

well this one havent made its pet hole.. still trying to know the area i guess...

Start a colony of roaches! An adult roach is slightly larger than a pinky (length wise), not sure about weight though.

Added on August 30, 2009, 2:41 amDid you start a burrow for it?

I set mine up like this...



Most of my haplos will find the hole within the first night, some will start expanding on it the very first day. I used to set the hole up on the side, I still do sometimes, but since they usually hang out at the mouth of the burrow it does not really make much of a difference. One nice thing about burrow entrances in the middle is you will get a volcano when they start expanding on it.

They all burrow like ants! But that's the nice thing about burrowers, they build interesting burrows! If yours is like mine, it will be hanging out at the burrow entrance often.

i do hope it just hang around at the burrow's entrance.. So that i can see it more often then just a hole in the ground.. lol..
well this is the 1st burrower sp that i have.. apart from the parahybana thats still a sling...

So long as they are hungry, you will get to see them. Just like any other T!

Sigh- feeling so lazy today! still have to get ready the 3 enclosures for the ones I'm getting tomorrow.

hahaha.. well if u think about the T's u will get ur motivation..

LOL- true. One of the reasons why I like burrowers- so easy to set up. Unfortunately one of the 3 I'm getting is a pokie. Building the lids for an arboreal setup takes more work!

well yeah.. but u sure have alot of fun making it.. and it will looks nice as you are building it.. if it were me.. well it wont look nice..
