Blondi VS Mouse

[Midnightrdr456]

just some things of curiosity. I know with snakes, its better to feed rat pinkies than mice, or rat weanlings.

I would think the best thing to do would be f/t rat pinkies if you feel the need to feed vert to your T's

you guys are hilarious. who cares? its a mouse for gods sake. amouse, bred specificaly for feeding. so who cares? not me i'll tell you that. i dont care so much that i fed an anole lizard to my blondi. and do you know why. ENTERTAINMENT, oh yeah baby, oh yeah. plus it was good for her.Mmmmmmm
oh yeah, wanna bet who wins this battle?

Hallo,

Is that black water in your pet's dish?:?

 

[Midnightrdr456]

yea that should be changed.

also im not gonna argue live or dead feeding, one of my snakes wont eat prekilled and honestly i dont see a problem (except saftey of the pet). But i still stand by the fact that rats are 10x better than mice. A weanling rat is = to an adult mouse, but has more meat than fur/bones.

just a curiosity.. can T's actually get nutrients from the exoskeleton even though they do not devour theit prey? isnt the exoskeleton left behind? i suppose they may suck the nutrients out of it first but I am curious if their digestive fluids actually extract the nutrients from it to be consumed. if anyone knows pls post!

As far as I know, tarantulas can't actually metabolize chitin, if they did, they would probably eat their own exoskeleton after molting, as centipedes do, because they can digest it. Vertebrate prey does tend to have more calcium than they require, but many species of tarantula do eat vertebrates in the wild, so eating them in captivity does make sense, along with a good amount of invertebrate prey. Great looking spider, Ante.

the water is extremly dirty. this was at the end of the day. his water has to be changed everyday from him always digging and moving about

Guys the title of the thread is "Blondi VS Mouse." You knew what was in here, if u didnt wanna see it, you shouldnt have opened it up. I have no problem with feeding mice. As a personal choice of mine though, i dont do it, only because i dont think its the best thing for the spider. I have a blondi that size and i feed it hissing roaches but if this guy wants to feed mice and post pics, the he's allowed. Lots of people do it.

thank you that is what I thought but a lot of ppl were saying the exoskeleton nutrients of invert prey was best and it just didnt make sense to me.. If we were talking about scorp or centipedes who devour their prey yeah but Ts just didnt make sense.
