What's "normal" differs from person to person. I powerfeed most of my slings, so that's normal to me.

I use small Tupperware containers for my slings. Small deli cups also work fine.

meh... G. pulchripes.

Yes, good choice for a feeder.

I use Frontline on my dogs and I've never had any problems with the tarantulas. I imagine only direct contact with the T's could be harmful.

To answer your question, I'm sure the spider is OK.

Why would this make you mad? They even fed it at the end..

That's funny, there's always something bigger out there.

Yes, since it's been three days and it was a mealworm as opposed to a roach or cricket.

No. One or both of the fangs could break. You'll have to wait and see.

It looks to me like a G. pulchripes in need of a molt.

It's a male.

It looks like a B. boehmei to me.

You would feel it bite, but I doubt it would have any effect on you.

Since you've only had her since Tuesday, it's possible that she needs time to acclimate to the new environment. Like ^^ said, she will not starve so don't worry. Maintain humidity and be patient.

It's not too big, generally I feed my T's with prey that is the size of their body not including legspan. Just leave the cricket in for a few hours and if she still shows no interest then take it out. G. roseas can fast for a long, long time.

My mistake, I read the post wrong.

Try to get some pictures posted if you can so we can get a better idea of the injury. Most likely she'll regenerate it during the next molt.

Leave the cricket parts in the enclosure for about 24 hours, if your spider still hasn't shown interest then take it out.

Yea, that's fine. No worries.
