Favorite T to feed?

[annanlove19]

One of my rosies, actually. The first time I fed him he attacked the tongs, and since then he'll wait a few seconds, slowly walk over and get on top of the roach, wait a few more seconds, then suddenly curl up on it and just mineminemineminemine. It's so cute!!

Though last feeding he didn't eat right away and it burrowed, then a few days later I woke up and there were holes and channels and mountains and webbing everywhere and a very dead roach in his mouth. Someone had fun hunting

Gbb hands down... He's always hungry!! Love it!

I'd have to say my rosie. She has never refused a meal and likes to eat out in the open.
From all my spiders the most I like feeding my widows.

Curious as to how long you have had it.

I only have two Ts currently and have only seen these two eat. Considering one hasn't eaten in a over a month and is comparable to a rock, I would have to go with my N. coloratovillosus. She is a beast during feeding, and has no issues taking down her prey.

Yeah! Lucky streak? One of my girls regularly runs away from dinner!

Pampho. That is all.

It's a toss up between my 2" GBB, my Acanthoscurria slings (both the genics and the theraphosoides), and oddly enough my 1/3" Brachypelma albopilosum. All of these show great enthusiasm at feeding time. My GBB stalks its prey like a cat and then violently pounces when it gets close, and my Acanthoscurria species regularly do somersaults in the process of attacking their prey. The little curlyhair might be the most entertaining of all though, at least for now. It's still too small to be given what passes for pinheads around here, but it attacks drumsticks like its expecting them to start kicking at any moment. Watching something so tiny attempting to be vicious is just adorable. :love:

Lucky ........ my GBB stands on her prey and kicks some hair and gives up.....

Favorite T to feed is a genic but my gimpy avic is a close second. Always jumping off walls doing rolling tackles.

Not that long, about 8 moths I think. I'm sure I'll get my share of fasting sometime along the road...

You bet you are....it probably came off a molt not too long before you got it....the party is about to come to an end, I'd bet.

My Lasiodora parahybanas. They eat 8 crickets at once 2x a week

16 a week?? Soooo Are they bigger than an infant?

Nope... Just 4 and 5".

Although my 5" one just molted. Hoping she's more like 6" now.

They molted last in August I believe. Now I'm waiting on the smaller girl to molt
She just stopped eating.

Currently, I guess my A. geniculata is my favourite to feed. Hardly surprising, given their famous feeding response. But last night, I had a darkling beetle get loose, so instead of returning it to the container, I decided to make an example of it to its fellow inmates and offer it to the genic. I wasn't even sure it would take it, really, Ive read that some spiders won't. It landed behind the spider about and inch, and took maybe two steps and - BAM! - the juvie did a 180 in the blink of an eye and the beetle was history. I didn't even think it had noticed it.

So yeah, I imagine it will remain my favourite to feed.

Actually it had a sac just before I got it. Molted two weeks after I brought it home.
Wish they'd given the sac with her.

The big NW tropical terrestrials. They have a passion for food.

Which species eats the most do you find? As I said I have only 2 juvenile/sub adult L.p.s to feed large amounts to. They generally take anywhere from 4-6 crickets at once. My biggest once took 8. It's maybe a 6" T now after it's molt the other day.

Oh Wow. That's fast for a T that big! So they're well on their ways to needed playpens!

I give most of my adults 5 to 6 crickets, and my adult female stirmi 10-12 crickets at a time.
