Tarantula Feeder Question

[Chancho1507]

I just got some dubia roaches for my new T. Albo, and i fed them some cantaloupes that I initially forgot to wash before they were able to feed on it for a little. I took the fruit out and washed it all before putting a new clean one in. Should I be worried that I poisoned them with pesticides that could harm my T?

No, you shouldn't be worried.

should i avoid feeding the dubias non organic fruit in general? this is my first T. so i havent had much experience in terms of keeping roaches and what not to feed them. thanks for your help

Feed them anything as long as it's not mouldy, change it daily, roaches are not fussy about what they eat, I feed my Lateralis roaches fruit and veg scraps depending on what I'm having for dinner, carrot peelings, potato peelings even banana skins etc.

I just keep it hassle-free and feed my dubia/lats a mix of unmedicated chick feed and fish flakes, and provide water crystals for hydration.
