Can tarantulas eat honey? If so do they like it?
NoCan tarantulas eat honey? If so do they like it?
Actually my A. Chalcodes speaks fluent German so...and "do they like it?" is anthropomorphic. We have no idea what they like since they can't really tell us. They may hate crickets, but they are hungry
There are some things in the world that we never knowWhy the hell are you asking this???

Thank you for actually being open minded, and thats a pretty interesting readIsn't it a fairly common practice to give sugar to Ts that are doing poorly? Honey is basically just sugar, so as long as it's been watered down a bit, I would think it'd be fine. Why are so many opposed to it so strongly?
Here's a snippet I found on giving spiders nectar (honey is desiccated nectar).

Yes, these are true spiders and not tarantulas, but it does show that there are spiders that'll drink it and even prioritize it, so I don't think that it's too far out to think that tarantulas can appreciate sugar as well. I probably wouldn't experiment with it myself, but it is a good question.
Really? Never heard of that practice until now.Isn't it a fairly common practice to give sugar to Ts that are doing poorly?
Maybe in an alternative reality of bong smoke and acidIsn't it a fairly common practice to give sugar to Ts that are doing poorly
Except that’s not how we ended up with Ts as pets. No one took them and thought we should feed them sugar! They were fed insect, natural prey items.Maybe it's not as common as I had thought, but people do give sugar to spiders other than ones within salticidae. Whether or not this is good for them, I'm not sure, but I appreciate those who try to innovate. That's how we ended with Ts as pets in the first place

Hello Everyone, I'm new to this forum but I've had my Chilean Rose Hair for 14 years. I'm not exactly sure how old she is because she was given to me, but I'm guessing 15 or 16. Recently she's stopped eating and started spending a lot of time sitting in her water dish. Her abdomen is also...tarantulaforum.com
