Consumption Time

[gdansey]

How long, on average, does it take a T to consume a cricket? I fed my B. albo a cricket a few hours ago and don't see anything left. It is hard to see in her burrow.

A few hours is plenty of time for her to have eaten the cricket. Remains from a cricket will be hard to spot sometimes because it's just a small ball of exoskeleton sometimes as small as an apple seed.

Sometimes my slings take their time with largish prey.

And yeah, the remains can be pretty tiny, this is another reason I like roaches!

They take sooo long! A centipede is done in like 3 minutes.. My T holds a big gooey ball for hours.

Incidentally - she eats in her burrow, and I can't very well reach in and get the left over balls of cricket... What will happen?

(Sorry for the mild hijack)

I noticed than pokies a re done with prey wayyyy faster than most T's. It's like 10 minutes after they have a small bogger between their fangs

I have seen that with my pokies to. It's almost like they know to go for the meaty parts and they suck them dry in to time at all. I have one female Ornata that will kill a male roach, flip him around till his lower body is in her mouth and eat him, leaving wings and a head intact.

I've noticed this too, pokies do take shorter time to consume their prey.
