Keeping super worms alive past feeding?

[ArachnoDancer]

wow most my Ts ate the trapped superworms.

Just oatmeal ?? Wow that’s simple what’s that weird stuff they’re always sold with called it’s not food ?is it trash..
$6.99 for 50 sure doesn’t look like 50.

months wow !! Shame a few got away . Now I gotta check daily for if they become beetles .. dangerous.
spider probably won’t dig them up ehh ?

I remember a half crushed meal worm was in their food dish and and it always kept crawling all over the dish trying to come out. For a few days it made its body go higher and higher onto the walls of the food dish as if climbing to get out. I got off of work and he was gone but found him through looking thru the walls of the enclosure and that hecker was burying itself more into the enclosure in front of me in the substrate. I had to get him out. To not become a beetle. I sliced him happily after doing that.

Why are you feeding them from dishes?

Why are you feeding them from dishes?

Just less escapes then tong feeding them , my Ts are very skittish seem to run away except the phampho. Could be awhile til I have enough roaches to feed any off ..

Only 1 of 10 of my spiders didn’t catch the super in a cup . The other one I just drop supers around it and it eats them no cup needed . The klugi who sits I the same spot mostly hasn’t found the super worms . This lp caught it despite cup getting knocked over .

How did a crippled worm climb out that is wild !!!???
I don’t really bother crushing them either use a dish or a drop them in and hope they don’t escape if they T isn’t hungry .
this one jumped right on it !
It started out a 90% success rate using feeding cups but the T isn’t smart enough to go back later for another one . So the worms are just stuck ..in an applesauce, Cup.

I use what the pet store supplies. ( Should you gut-feed mealworms?)

 

[DustyD]

I feed mine veggies and fruit, including banana peels, carrots, potatoes. I don’t know if that qualifies as gut fed, but it provides them with fluids and some nutrients so that hopefully they will not be feeding on each other. Also wheat germ or something like it.

It counts, if you don't let them fully digest their veggies before you feed them off.

Personally, I also give my feeders fresh food, especially when I've brought something from a store, feeders tend to be a bit malnourished once you take them with you. It's by far not as important as with reptiles, I just want to provide my spiders the best care I can. Better safe than sorry and all that.

What should I give supers before feeding them off thin apples slices or something? And a day or two for them to eat them ?
I certainly don’t want to give my spiders nutrient devoid foods .
