Ok so I recently bought 3 arboreal slings, P. Irminia, P. Cambridgei and an H. Maculata. I was wondering if I could feed them meal worms? Would that be alright?
depends on the size of the slings, if the mealies more than 1.5x their legspan id chop it.Haha alright, I'll cut my mealworms into half?
Must be just yours. Tthe last one I raised to adult (irminia) ate everything like it was starving, sometimes the prey barley hit the substrate before she pounced. Thia was from a sling to adult. So I guess "Your mileage may vary" I would hate to see them hunt in packsPsalmos almost seem to prefer prekilled prey because they are such chickens
geez, mine all attack movement of any kind.@cold blood i meant that all my psalmo slings are afraid of anything that moves

I was referring to slings mostly. They always tend to hide when I open the enclosure and takes them quite a while to show up for a meal.geez, mine all attack movement of any kind.
Don't worry, once they reach like, 2,5cm legspan they will stop hiding from food and attack everything that moves, slapping everything along the wayI was referring to slings mostly. They always tend to hide when I open the enclosure and takes them quite a while to show up for a meal.
Well my irminia is still hesitant to come pick out in the open to hunt down the roach, but my pulcher is slowly getting there.. But must say, that P. ecclesiasticus is the best eater I've had from the genus. It eats like mad.Don't worry, once they reach like, 2,5cm legspan they will stop hiding from food and attack everything that moves, slapping everything along the way
At least, that's what my P.pulchers do.
That's not necessary.. When they become adults 2 times a week is plenty.. Tarantulas eat for a long time, so if you fed them twice a day, eating is what you would mostly see them do. Once a day or 5 times a week is more than enough.Btw, can I feed them twice a day?
I wa referring to slings as well...yours sound broken...lol.I was referring to slings mostly. They always tend to hide when I open the enclosure and takes them quite a while to show up for a meal.
Thats both excessive and unnecessary. Twice a week is good.Btw, can I feed them twice a day?
Well both my N. chromatus slings are psychopats..I wa referring to slings as well...yours sound broken...lol.
Ime theres few things as agressive as a young psalmo.
