What can I feed my red rose Tarantula if I don't have any crickets I'm scared I will starve my Tarantula if I don't feed him soon.
Red rose....hmmmmm, I guess we can probably assume rosehair (G. rosea/porter (spell check won't let me add the i at the end of porter...how frustratingly stupid!!)What can I feed my red rose Tarantula if I don't have any crickets I'm scared I will starve my Tarantula if I don't feed him soon.
It's a rose hair. They're not exactly known for being the best eaters.It's been like maybe two weeks and I'm trying to make he molts right this time cause last time he wasn't on his back he came from the top.

Idk if mine is a female or a male so yea so I call it a male. And ya I have a pet store I just haven't had the money to go buy more crickets yet
2 weeks should be your normal feeding schedule, its not even close to being in need of food, and its still a good 2 years+ of fasting away from any starvation issues...hehe....and for the record, if you can't afford a dime for a cricket, you're probably homeless....heck, go to the pet store and just look down, I find the occasional rouge cricket roaming around in most pet stores...but I'm betting it all that you do in fact have the extra dime. With one rosehair in the house, one every 2 weeks is all you need....if the t never refused all year (and it will), you're looking at an annual feeding bill of less than $3.00.:wink:Yea it's a rose hair and why is that? I got a pic of my spider so u can see what he or she looks like it's my profile pic
[emoji33]what!? Hahawax worms that you can get at your lips.
Bro do you speak proper english?? HahaBro do you even search function??
...in getting de ja vu...
Indeed. I love feeding my Ts, it's so hard for me to be patient and give them decent intervals between feedings. At least slings can be fed more often.Its hard to comprehend the fact that not all animals eat as often as us mammals. I remember when i got into reptiles i was completely shocked when i was told how long snakes can go without food. Its very strange.
Sounds like someone needs more spidersIndeed. I love feeding my Ts, it's so hard for me to be patient and give them decent intervals between feedings. At least slings can be fed more often.
Such is life with Ts....
Rosehairs are notorious for randomly going on long fasts. These can last several months. I once had one refuse food for 10 months and then it suddenly started eating again. Its one of the reasons I'm not a fan of this species. I hate to seem rude, but a simple Google search on this species would have told you this.Yea it's a rose hair and why is that?

Of course everyone can do as they choose but I personally would recommend against wild caught prey. People use so many pesticides on gardens, on lawns and in houses you don't know what that prey could have on it. Local insects are often resistant to pesticides that could be deadly to your spide.I think everyone's right in the sense that Rosehairs tend to not eat for a very long time but when it does become time I don't think money should be a problem. crickets are extremely cheap. I buy 5 pinheads for 90 cents here. I'm not sure where you live and I usually wouldn't suggest it but I'd rather your T not starve to death, you can always try to catch things. I've had a few silverfish running around that I've caught.
