Hi
I have quite a few that will usu only take crickets in my collection unless they are very hungry (example first few meals post moult)There is no issues with it for the spiders as they don't need variety.They will get what they need from any feeders.
If you can't source crickets easily you may want to space your feeding and insist on your preferred feeder( with suitable size of course.) Eventually they will start taking them when they hungry enough.
Regards Konstantin

Happens with some T's. You have anything else that'll eat the superworms?

Edit: "you may want to space your feeding and insist on your preferred feeder( with suitable size of course.) Eventually they will start taking them when they hungry enough." - this is a good idea from Konstantin

Like somebody said above, I thought the same was true about one of my spiders until I just realized she was being overfed. Cut down on feeding and I almost guarantee she will eat most feeders.
