Ok Ive just picked up my first Arboreal yesterday(which are next to impossible to acquire here in Ireland and have a couple of questions.
1.Is a custom made container 2ft x 1ft x 1ft too large for a 2.5 inch LS Tarantula.The T seems quite happy in it at the minute.
2.I have the temp quite cosy at 70 degrees and am wondering if this is ok for an Avic???
3.How in Gods name do you feed an arboreal.Crickets are ground dwellers and this morning I tried to feed the T a cricket using a long tweezers.The T pounced on the cricket but the cricket jumped back on to the floor of the cage and the T then gave up.Anyone got any strange ways of feeding arboreals.I was going to tie a cricket to the top of the cage and hope that that would work.Other than that should I just pop in a few crickets and hope that it finds them.
Sorry for all the questions---Its just that my other T is a G.Pulchra and is quite different to keep than an arboreal.
Thanks
Richie.
