Hello all,
I got a trio of whip spiders yesterday, and I'm a little confused on the way to feed them. I heard that they aren't big feeders, and eat a cricket maybe once a week or so. However, because there are multiple animals in the terrarium, I figured to be safe I'd put a few more crickets in than spiders to increase the chances that they'd all be able to catch a meal. However, I've heard anectodal evidence that some arachnids like the whip scorpions (vinegaroons) will litterally stuff themselves until their abdomen ruptures. Is this something I have to worry about with whip spiders?
Thanks,
Luke
