Hey all!
I've recently obtained a Damon diadema who is doing very well. But I've encountered a slight problem... as it's my only pet that feeds off crickets I realise I am slightly overrun with the little bugs.
That might not be seen as a bad thing. I've got them set up well and they're happy and currently most of them will probably just live out their days in the tank they're in.
I considered getting another pet to help put the crickets... "to good use" (of course I'd love to keep another pet also). Looked around (I'm in the UK by the way) and Euathlus sp. red seems like a lovely starter tarantula.
Can't find many (any?) juveniles for sale right now but I've found slings 1cm in length for sale.
I've never had tarantulas before, and before my D. diadema, I've only kept Indian sticks and Extatosoma tiaratum sticks. Would it be a big mistake for me to try and raise a sling?
Don't worry if the answer is yes. I'm happy to wait it out or really go hardcore into some Google searches to see if I can locate a juvenile. I just wondered how experienced you need to be to raise a sling, or if being really well read on the subject would mean I can cope.
Thanks for your time, regardless
