Well, my two new girls seem to have adjusted nicely to their new homes since arriving on Wednesday. The A. moderatum has even dug out a burrow under the flower pot I provided as a hide. I threw in a cricket in each cage and waited. The B. smithi did not have to be asked twice and is currently eating her 2nd. The A. moderatum finally ate the 1st so I threw in a second. My question is, how do you feed your T.'s? Do you just drop in a few crix at a time and wait to see what is left (if anything) the next day, or do you add tem one at a time until they do not eat anymore? Thanks for the advice.....

I throw in one at a time until they don't want more. But mine are not that big so they usually eat maybe 3 pr. week

it depends on which one I'm feeding at the time.... after a while i've learned just how many each will eat... my smithi is REALLY picky about who he'll devour whereas my 1" B. albop will eat either 5 pinheads at one time (all crammed in his mouth) twice a week or one small, almost as big as he is once a week, same goesz for my C. fasciatum... but my pzb will only eat maybe one pinhead a week.....

it depends on what i use. if its a pinkie or fuzzie, ill wait like a week or more till i feed them again. but then again, ive never feed my Ts more than 1x a week. They usually never take things on the first time.
