I can't get over how dainty and well mannered my little guy is. He wants nothing to do with hunting at all and wants me to tong feed him. Then, he very slowly and gently takes the food from the tongs and eats it.
I am expecting him to grab at it and he never does... it often looks like he doesn't want it at all and then he takes hold of it and starts eating after I hold it in front of him for sometimes as long as a couple of minutes.
Or is there something wrong with him? I have read other posts by people saying that they have always had to tong feed their Emperors, but I am just not used to this behaviour. I'm used to tarantulas either attacking their food like linebackers or not wanting it at all.
I don't think I should be concerned, but I worry anyway.
Here he is with tonight's dinner.
