Hello!
Some beginner questions here:
1. How much "food" an small tarantula (it's about 1") eat a week / month?
I found one at backyard but since i found it it has not eated anything but an small pillbug the first day and it has an small roach for two days and the roach is still alive... what do they eat? how often?
2. A little worried about light: do they like/dislike normal room light? i have it inside a plastic enclosure at my computer room but i turn lights on/off each time i'm using the computer, sometimes late at night sometimes dont... also this one wakes up about at 8pm and sleeps all day....
3. About enviroment, what should i use for enclosure? i have read that small spiderlings need small spaces? i'm using something like a food storage plastic container for it of about 6" long x 3" tall x 3" wide with bare ground and two small round shaped stones (like the place it was found at backyard) but it is almost always looking at the corners and going round and round inside at night... also it started to dig an small hole in the ground at one of the sides of the enclosure but the work seems "on hold" by now... anything i should know?
