If you feed him one cricket a week its fine. If you feed him three crickets a week its fine. If you feed him two crickets a week its fine.

It all depends on if you're trying to power feed and how beastly your tarantula is for food. Some will eat more than others, so judge it accordingly.

But how big is it? I feed them every couple days or so until they hit two inches. Then they eat a varied amount every week to ten days.

You don't have to feed them every week. I've been feeding based on abdomen size and that turned out to be either once a month or every other month. Water is more important and I'll mist once a week.

How big is it?

its just under a inch

I feed my 1"+ inch B. smithi "1 sub-adult Blatta lateralis every night" until he/she on premolt. Then he/she molt his on 2"+ inch. I normal feed him now 2-3 Blatta lateralis a week.

it depends on how big the spider is, what kind it is, how big the prey items are, and most importantly (in a sense) what temperature your spider lives at



so far most answers have actually been valueless because they don't actually tell you much info


for instance.... say you have last guy's 1"DLS B. smithi. you still don't know enough. if that spider is kept at 65*F it is going to need to eat roughly half as often as the exact same spider kept at 85*F.


the last thing you need to specify is cricket size. w/o that it's hard to know if you are throwing in pinheads or adults

I try to keep the abdomen around 1.5 time the volume of theprosoma, so some eat frequently and others not. Also, the higher you keep the temp, the more they will eat and process food into growing. Abdomen size is the key, like it shouldn't be kept smaller than the prosoma and no bigger than twice its volume.
