I am a T noob, just got into the hobby after nursing my interest for years. It's been just about a month now. I have three (and I am not getting any more for now):
1. Lottie, female A. seemani, approx 6"
2. Rani, female B. hamorii, approx 5"
3. Ashildr, juvie G. pulchripes, suspect female, approx 3" (my first one)
I have only been feeding them large crickets. Lottie molted the very next day after I brought her home - almost two weeks ago, and I have not fed her yet. I got Rani on Wednesday and she took two large crickets today. And I feed large crickets to Ashildr too - once a week - and she also takes two at a time. I plan on feeding Lottie and Rani every two weeks and Ashildr every week until she becomes an adult.
Like I said I have only been feeding them crickets. Shall I give them different feeders for variety? Like dubias, mealworms or superworms? I have heard mealworms and superworms can injure the T's. Is that true? Also, do T's only feed on live feeders or is there such thing as pre-killed feeders for T's? I have also seen some large species (including A. seemani) feeding on mouse pinkies. But I think I read somewhere that mice have too much calcium. Please advise on feeding and help this noob out. Your suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
