Feeding video: T. Blondi, Pokie, Brachy

[robc]

Thank you very much, I think everyone gets nervous when they buy thier first sling. Now I don't feel like I'm stuffing them to death

Do you hand feed all of your Ts using the feeding tongs? Or do you just throw them in for most and hand feed only your favorites?

Slings need to be fed more often. I tong feed mostly when they are out in the open, I must say caution must be use due to the fact a T can grab the tong instead of the prey and injure a fang!! I grab all prey by one end and let the T grab the other

Hee hee I can just imagine it now, playing an accidental tug of war with a T if you don't release it's roach right away. Talk about scary with those massive T. Blondis of yours. What sorts of roaches do you recommend for smaller Ts? I'm getting fed up with caring for crickets.
How big do they have to be before you start slowing down on the feeding and humidity for the babies? I have a couple 2+ inchers, and I feed them almost as much as I do the slings, about 2 to 3 times a week and keep thier cups damp but let them dry out between misting. Sorry for all the questions, I'm a beginner at this and not at the same time...I've had a rosie for over a year and a half and thought she was pretty great till she stopped eating for like seven months... then she molted and the interest I had in her doubled, and I bought some kinds of Brachypelmas with a couple kinds of Aphonopelmas and now I have bugs taking over my room

I feed all of my T's B.Dubia (from my 1" GBB to my 10"+ T.Blondi)....crickets suck!!! I feed them judging by there addomen size!!!

Rob,

I didn't read the entire thread, so forgive me if someone happened to ask this already...

Where did you get those containers? The ones you have the regalis who tagged you in, with the lid with the flip-open top?

Pretty soon you will be like some of the rest of us and have your own room dedicated just to T's. I have one that is rapidly growing. I love my T's.
