T. blondi feeding question

[andrew_w_hill]

I have a 6" male T. blondi. In the first four days it consumed 12 adult crickets before it stopped taking any. Two days later I started him on 1.5" Madagascar hissers, and he took the first one without hesitation (stupid roach actually tried climbing onto the spider). I was wondering, since it is a more substantial meal, if anyone has any idea how frequently I should try feeding them to him.

They eat quite a lot more than most of other spdiers.
They tend to be bulky spiders, so they "should" look bulky.

That said, with 2-3 meaty dubias a week would be enough.
