So im planing on getting a brachypelma smithi, but i still have some doubts about feeding it
i know the best diet for it would be a variation of crickets and roaches and some times a superworm or mealworm, but in brazil no one sell roaches since its a nasty sewer bug and considered a plague, and i would never feed a "wild" roach to my tarantula for obvious reasons, crickets i might be able to get from the wild and breed them no problem
so my doubt is, i got a barrel of live shrimps that i use for fish bait, can i feed my tarantula shrimps stead of roaches? if yes what would be best way to do it, let it dry a while before feeding it or just dry it on a paper and feed right away?
So she would eat basicaly crickets shrimps and superworms, is it healty? can she have problems for eating shrimps?
obs: i know it probably would make the tank smell bad, or it would contribute to create mold, but i could fix this issues no problem.
