Would like to know what people choose for feeders. This is just a general question of what people use.
Agreed!I like the Blatta/Shelfordella lateralis (Turkistan Cockroach) they breed like crazy above 80 degrees Fahrenheit have no smell and are quiet compared to crickets (same nutritional value for your T as well) Males can fly so make sure your enclosure is tight. They cannot climb smooth surfaces and your spiders will react to them every time if they are used to them and are hungry. They induce a great feeding response. I also like the Blaptica dubia or commonly known as the dubia roach, to mix things up for my B. albo.
Def agree! Do you breed your own?Red Runners are my go to, I started with them as both my slings were to small to take anything else (I hate fruit fly's and chopping mealworms) when I got them. Dubia burrow, but often they burrow right into my spiders tunnels and she catches them within a day. I am a big Lat fan as they can be fed throughout the spiders life just like crickets and have very good nutritional value. I haven't tried anything else yet besides those.
You should sell extrasYea I have to kill some because I only have 2 spiders. I don't let the colony get to large. It will get bigger as I get more spiders but I have to keep the colony viable to feed.
I have both lateralis and dubia about 100 of each.
Just sell any excess, that way they basically pay for themselves.Yea I have to kill some because I only have 2 spiders.
