Hello everyone! I recently ordered a B. vagans sling online and a small enclosure. This will be my first tarantula and I'm excited/nervous. I am nervous because I really want to ensure he/she stays healthy and happy.
I have a question on feeding. The sling should be around 1/2". Would a small cricket be too large? Should I use pinheads? I know the Petco around me sells pinheads if needed. Also, how many times a week should I mist the enclosure? I read that misting too much can cause mites. I don't want to over mist and cause mites but I obviously don't want the poor thing to dehydrate either.
If you have anything else to add that would be great too. I'm so excited to get my first T!
