Hmm, is it general that people powerfeed their Ts in this way?
To me it's quite unhealthy for the spider, as far as I know powerfeeding shortens the life of the T and why do You want that? Well, the spider grows faster, I know that, but it's not good caring for animals IMO.

well your opinion does not count for me here, these are my first slings and 2 small crics a week was to much and seeing as how this is my third week having them there down to one cric per week so there ! ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P

I dont power feed my Ts unless I feel they are really thin. I put these pis on to show my fatty spider which is due a moult on the flower. I didnt realise it was gonna become an overweight T thread!

sorry versimomma :8o

Well, I just wrote it because I've seen quite alot of pictures in here by now, showing fat Ts and people seem to be proud of it.
I don't say that you powerfeed your Ts, but it just looks like it. I wouldn't say that one/two cricks a week is too much (depending on the size ofcourse), that's also what I feed mine. But they are much thinner than yours. Not skinny-thin cause that's not healthy either but somewhere in between.

Hope You are not offended by my previous post...

In my experience feeding slings is hard. A little cricket sometimes makes mine look like they're gonna burst, and finding appropriate sized food's also hard for a spider under and inch long. Its much easier to gauge what's appropriate for a larger T.
