Hello everyone!
I've been considering buying a tarantula for some time and I've decided about a species, too (grammostola pulchra). However I'm totally overwhelmed by keeping the roaches, crickets or mealworms for it! It seems keeping live food is so much more work than the T itself? I'm not sure I can buy live insects in my small town so I'd have to purchase online and probably breed them myself because the shipping is more expensive than the insects .
The videos I saw on YT seem like the insects take up so much space and time! People keep them in very large boxes and they get huge colonies...
Is there a way to only keep a very small colony of insects, just for one T? I live in a small flat so I would really appreciate something small, and not smelly.
Which insect would be the best and easiest to care for?
The T I'm considering to purchase is 2cm.
Or is really keeping live insects a difficult chore? Should I just forget about tarantula because of this?
I'm sorry for such a stupid question, I'm a total newbie.
