He is pretty aggresive so I just held the super with my long tweezers and stuck it in his face and he took it. :)

yea.. my g.rosea, Buttkiss, was not into superworms too.. was a hassle at first.. but i've found out a way to solve that.. i will always put the superworm on its carapace first.. he will then flipped the superworm and eat it before it digs into the substrate.. guess he needed to know the size of his meal first before munching down on it..

both my male and female Chile rose seem to like the super worms. Usually they'll paw at them while deciding if they want to eat them or not which lets them bury in the substrate. However once they come to their conclusion they both go into a digging frenzy and find the worms no problem. It's very cool to watch the tarantula digging as fast as it can like a little eight legged dog. I must see if I can catch that on video. :cool:
