This has definitely been done before but in lieu of necroing old threads let me tell you a story of frustration
so my a. metallica who i love very dearly has been a fussy eater. she's refused roaches, refused worms (both super and meal varieties, if there's a difference), and for a while i thought she was eating the worms and not just hiding them until i noticed her abdomen wasn't growing. i figured it wasn't a premolt fast, because she's still very active and her abdomen was alarmingly small.
today i finally bit the bullet and bought crickets as a last ditch resort (i avoid them because of the smell, noise, and horror stories of them chewing on molting t's; for that matter i figured she'd take something else if she was hungry enough) and, naturally, she went right for it.
so basically im starting a cricket culture for one singular tarantula (everyone else likes the worms just fine).
that said, does anyone else have any absurd tales of fussy eaters?
