After 8 loooooong years...!!!

[Teal]

My G. rosea, Ituri, FINALLY ate something OTHER than a cricket!

It took about 2 minutes of poking it around and making it scuttle, but she finally decided to give a lateralis a go! :clap:

I am so proud of my ol stubborn gal lol

 

[TarantulaFanBoy]

Wow that's a long time lol. Glad it took it though

 

[Mvskokee]

gee thats forever

I've heard Rosies can be picky, but that's rediculous!!!! Sooooo grateful Charlotte took to the roachies. Congrats Jairi!!!!!

 

[Moltar]

Wow, congrats. My big old gal has taken a grand total of 2 B. lateralis in... ever. She absolutely won't eat dubias though. Right now we're playing a waiting game. I will NOT flinch first and buy crickets. I hate those things...

 

[Audrey16]

lol wow congrats!! how did you do it? with me its only been 3 years but still nothing but medium brown crickets lol. Why are they so fussy!

 

[DeathsPyro12]

Congrats! I'm lucky my girl went a head an took B.dubia, I absolutely hate crickets! They smell to bad.

 

[Teal]

Thanks yall! lol

I HATE crickets, too... I am sooo glad that the only one who I have to buy them for now is the gecko!

I tried refusing to feed her crickets and only offering roaches... that went on for about 6 months, until I switched back to crickets.. and she refused those too. That was the start of her several year hiatus from eating! I've never been able to make the rules with her lol

Audrey... I just kept having to make the roach scuttle. Lats are faster than dubias, and shaped more like crickets... so after a few minutes of me chasing the roach around amongst her legs she finally gathered it in her palps (it was like she was inspecting it LOL) and then took a cautious nibble.. and then CRUNCH!

I am going to try again today... we'll see how that goes lol

Your title had me thinking I was coming into another death thread. Where somebody had a T die.

 

[Teal]

But this is so much better, right? LOL

 

[Avicularia Man]

But this is so much better, right? LOL

Well of course. I am tired of reading about people having spiders die. It is so depressing.

 

[Redneck]

Well its about dang time..

 

[Adversary]

Congrats! Lats are nutritiously delicious.

Atleast your girl eats.........My daughter has an almost 4 yr old rosea that went a year once, w/ out eating...........and has gone since Summer when she killed an accidental tank-mate........similar-sized B. Emilia male 2"+ OOps!

 

[Teal]

I am surprised she's eating, Jason! Her nearly two year long break from eating ended only recently, and she had a molt somewhere in there too (first one in... 5 years?).. so this "eating" thing she is doing is a nice surprise! LOL

I tried to feed her another one today...

She ignored it, and threatened the tongs

So much for that idea! lol

 

[sharpfang]

I'd love to hear how her Menu selection...

Changes in the future........Maybe silk-worms are next.....Or spaghetti :drool:

- Jason

 

[Teal]

I tried mealworms.. maybe she does have more expensive taste?

Then why does she eat *disgusted face* crickets?!

LOL

 

[sharpfang]

I Don't Know

Why do I eat Pink Hostess Snow Balls ?

I do like coco-nut. Almond Joys are Yummy - Try that.......Oh wait, chocolates not good for Dogs or T's.......

MMMMMmmmmm.......Mounds of Chocolate.....mmmmmm, chocolate.

[Teal]

I am allergic to coconut

But maybe I'll see if she wants a Hershey's bar.. though I'd have to yank it around on a string to get her attention lol

 

[Adversary]

I like Kit-Kat... I wish i had at least half of one right now.
