[glamiswarrior]

Heres my p. murinus doing her part in controlling the rodent population.

An adult mouse once a week????????

Unless what you want is a brown canteloup with legs, should I say " month" even "years instead"!!!!

I just love it how everything that's "best for the animal" is almost always just something that people prefer to do. Convenient, no doubt.

Seems like a highly unresponsable thing to do. This is my take on it. Won't be checking out this thread or any others thread of this kind anymore.

:clap: Agreed.

I know a few good breeders of species like Blondi and all they feed them is mice and they let them eat as much as they want. They never have had molt problems, never had a mystery death that pointed to mice feeding. It's just easy to point to invert feeding as the problem when there is a problem IMO.

Exactly...I don't see a problem with feeding a prekilled mouse to a previously mated spider to try to gain some weight to coax a sack out but for the most part people rationalize what they think is fun with that reasoning.

The metabolic requirements for inverts aren't well known and every species I'm aware of does just fine with an all invert diet from sling till death.

I like to feed small snakes they are free and great food

I love these pictures. Infact, I like them so much, that I have now placed T. blondi above G. pulchra on my To-Get list. Your's kicks so much ass. Also, I somehow read the title of this thread as "Blondi eats hamburger".

hate rodents but love the pic thats a big T.blondi.

Very nice Big T there.

I personally could not be bothered with what others feed their T's. Everyone will be different and have their own justifications. As long as they are not endangering or harming the T.

The mice and rats can stay and chill. I hate hamsters though. Feed them all off. Haha I'm going to hell :evil:

I hate mice and rats more then hamsters, mainly when they disturb you when you sleep in your appartment. I had bad experiences with it when I lived in Quebec city.

However, I think if the T is big and strong enough to eat it and if you dont overfeed it, it's just ok. Personnaly, i am surprised about what my sub-adult avic can eat, I can't wait till my pokie becomes an adult, it will be really killer!

Food is food for a T

I know some people will think I'm mean for doing this but food is food. I think both tarantulas and rodents are fuzzy and cute. I've fed many a mouse to my bird-eaters. Well, I had an old rosehair who was on her last leg. She was very old and had only had a couple of days left in her. That's when I decided to feed her to my Brazilian Pink. The Brazilian Pink ended her suffering very quickly. I know people will think that it's not right what I did, but what's the difference between a cute fuzzy hamster and a tarantula? The tarantula was ancient and about to die. Why waist food. She did not suffer because she died very quickly. A 9 inch B.pink can do a number on a 5 inch rosehair very quickly. Yes, I did feel a little bad afterwards. I also feel a little bad when I hear a mouse squeak when I'm feeding them to my Boa or my T's.

I know what you're getting at, but this is a spider-oriented board and not a rodent board. There is a natural bias going on here
