Fattning up youre t

[VENOMdeBEEVER]

I got some new Ts and my new G.rosea is a little skinny. Ive had her for 3 weeks and ive been feeding her a cockroach every night and shes been taking them everynight. Shes not really getting any bigger ( her abdomen ) but I can tell shes getting comfortable.my questions are

1-what should I feed her to get some weight in her?

2- is there a time limit to how long a meal should last a T?

3- Pinky mice ?? ( good or bad )

4- can you over feed a T ( like goldgfish )

5. I also dont want any problems come her next molt and I dont know if its good or bad to put weight on them fast or slowly. Like when I fed my smithi that mouse ( bad me ) she was twice the size after. Now she looks like every1 elses I see. was it bad for her to gain that much weight that fast ( 24 hours ) ?

Dubias, Locusts and or crickets

2- is there a time limit to how long a meal should last a T?

Nope it varies

3- Pinky mice ?? ( good or bad )

Bad, we've been here before no......?

4- can you over feed a T ( like goldfish )

Not really as a tarantula will stop eating when it feels full, although over feeding isn't recommended as if it takes a fall it could get injured easier....

5. I also dont want any problems come her next molt and I dont know if its good or bad to put weight on them fast or slowly.

Personally I would fast her until she looks healthier and yeah its not cool making your tarantula obese......

I don't know about feeding daily, I think thats a bit much, I feed my Ts twice a week. Pics of her would also help

Lets just say, we didn't get along very well

Although I miss them and still think they reek of awesomeness

 

[VENOMdeBEEVER]
