Hello I have a group of H. crassipes ( Cameroon locality) and I have heard that they will eat earth worms. I like to vary the diet of my Ts as much as possible and would like to give them a try.
With that said I have seen very few in depth discussions on the results of
feeding earth worms so I have a few questions.
1- Have any of you fed your Hysterocrates sp earth worms and if so did they seem to enjoy them as much as crickets or roaches_
2- How nutritious are they compared to roaches or crickets? i.e. Did you notice any significant weight gain etc..
3- Most importantly to me and what has caused me to not just run out and buy some worms and experiment on my own, is there any chance of poisoning my Ts because of possible pesticides or additives in the soil that they are raised in and feed on?
4- please post any negative experiences you have had feeding earth worms if there where any.
Also if you have fed Earth worms some what regularly to any Theraphosids please weigh in on the discussion.
Thanks
