Ts as feeders for other Ts

[Fran]

I'm not jumping on any wagon - I said I saw both sides of the argument but your analogy was terribly flawed. Who else told you your analogy sucked? Looks like I'm the only one, so it's my wagon.

See? hahaha

The word greater was in reference to the risk involved...

Can you guys read?

See now is when this turns into an stupid thread. It was going fine,till now.
Now is when im out.

It is very ovbious that is IMPOSSIBLE to discuss about something without jumping into somewhat attacks.

I only asked because you took what I said out of context. Plain as day.

I fail to see where do I took what out of contest.

You say a MM is bigger than 2 roaches and i say that doesnt mean crap.

I'll say it again:

The word greater was in reference to the risks involved. Nothing to do with how big of a meal or how great of a meal I thought the MM was. Just said a fresh male was a greater risk than an old one? How do you not see that?

And it might not even be acurate. A fresh MM has on its "mind" to breed, not to attack a female.
A dying MM throun on a random larger spider enclosure will probably defend himself and attack before a freshly MM would attempt to do so.

I highly doubt that.

I doubt it. A DYING male is of no threat to a female. Capiche?

 

[Fran]

I highly doubt that.

Now that was a valid post. Talk about cupcakes.

Because you say so.

hahaha, ok people, do whatever the hell you want with them. Really stupid, unnecessary and risky...but hey, your spider.

Next time I feel the need to give a dying MM to a female, I'll record it just so you can see the "threat" involved.

 

[xhexdx]

Because you say so.

Right?

:wall:

If you cant comprehend why, Joe, it is not my fault

The fact is that it is unnecessary and purely a choice to feed a T to another T. if your keeping Tarantulas in the first place I would hope that would mean that you regard their quality of life. Freezing is the most humane way of killing a sick T. Feeding them to another Tarantula is far less humane. If you dont see a problem with this, it just means you dont respect Tarantulas as much as those of us who would freeze them.

Also, just feeding healthy Tarantulas to others is in my opinion a recreation of the Gladitorial Games, which is disregard for life because of the lust for excitement. The purpose of feeding your T isnt to entertain you, but rather to give it substance to sustain life. It should be able to do that with as little risk and trouble as possible.

This is off topic, but has anyone ever noticed that noone EVER leaves a thread at the time they say they will?

People say they will, because its stupid, or trollign or whatever the reason is then two minutes later they post again?

BUT THATS BESIDE THE POINT,

The ORIGINAL purpose behind this thread was an inquiry as to whether anyone had heard of this before. It's beginning to wander a bit don't you think?

I mean, CUPCAKES?

Come on.

 

[MadTitan]

On topic post

:razz:I read in the Tarantula Keepers Guide that some individuals us as feeders "less desirable" species such as P cancerides. What is the concencess on this subjuct? I own a P cancerides and I think is awsome T:evil:;P :barf:

Dear arachnomancer, as you can see, there is no consensus on this subject.

Yay for the on topic post!

I facepalmed a lot while reading this thread. A few people that I would go so far as to say that I respect, squabbling like children.

Fully agreeing with this.

Opinions do seem to vary greatly on this subject.

As for cupcakes. I never liked the idea of cupcakes. I think they are little imposters that want to be actual cakes. Cupcakes are a lie.
