Put on your flameproof suit NOW!!!

Some people are against feeding verts to Ts. I'm not, so cool pics.

BTW - your "Asian Fawn" is an OBT.

thnks for the warning, this is the first ones i've fed to them and i can't please everyone all the time, new to T's and do common names, i find them fasinating as heck. If it gets too hot, i will get out of the kitchen and find another friendly forum. Thnks for the info on the fawn. Just ordered me a pinktoe, purple tree spider and a blk one with gold lightening bolts on legs, forget name,

He can feed what he wants.... Your acting like your the boss of tarantula keeping.
At least its a pinkie. It's not like its going to kill the T,
there isnt even solid proof that feeding a pinkie from time to time can cause deaths.
Im totally against feeding inverts to tarantulas, but
I don't understand how your warning him for his b*******. :?

I hope you're kidding. :wall:

Cause if you aren't that is just ridiculous. His Ts - his chose of prey. I'm a herp guy and yes, sometimes, I do live feedings to my lizards and snakes. Got a problem with that? You're not mine or his dad/boss so mind your own business, please.

Anyways, Nice pics, and a tip when entering the T world(I use to keep lots), remember the scientific name. If you just constantly use them, you'll get them. Now that I know most of the latin names, I have a REALLY hard time remmebering common names haha.

These are the latin names to your Ts(in order):
Lasiodora parahybana
Brachypelma smithi
Pterinochilus murinus

I agree with you about feeding verts, but try to act a bit more mature... Its her tarantulas and you gotta respect that.

I'm sorry but I may not care for it either but that's how nature goes, and there are billions of rodents on the planet. I have a wonderful pet rat whom I love but I wouldn't hesitate feeding a pinkie to my T. Food chain....... and it goes for lions who feed on zebras, I don't like it but I'd rather see the lion get it's food. That's just me. I love all animals though.

I agree with P. novak. Many people feed their t's pinkies as treats from time to time.

yep can't save all the animals in the world, look at cows that are fed othe cow parts ground up, along with their grains, pretty sick there, how does one live knowing all species even T's are being used for food somewhere in the world in nature?? Im a HUGH animal lover too, but there is a food chain that goes along with it, you have T's you feed them crickets?? OMG!!! How terrible. :)

And they are more times than not, bred for feeding. Ever heard of feeder mice, feeder rats, and even feeder bunnies? What would you recommend my bf feed his caimons, and 10ft. pythons? Or my 11" blondi even, she cant chase crickets all over the place like she used to.

Pinkies are not treats. they provide extra vitamins for your T. They are necesary in your Ts liftime.
No they are not necessary.
I have plenty of Ts and 99.9% of them have never had a pinky and are not sick or weak for having not had one. They breed and grow just fine on insects.
FACT-Pinky feeding is purely a personal choice, not a "necessity" to the existence and health of you’re tarantula.
