RE: My little spider

in #pet8 years ago (edited)

Depends on when her next molt is and whether i am feeding store bought crickets or wild. If i feed wild bugs they tend to be fatty (good fatty) so i dont have to feed as many. But right now due to the slight chill at night i am still buying my crickets, 1 dozen every 4 days or so, depending on how long they last in her cage. Ive seen her take 3 days to kill them, ive also seen 3 hours.
Probably going to have to move on to the occasional small mouse or sone type of large bug. When things go into that cage it turns into Thunderdome.

Sort:  

I found a lot of that to be adorable, haha! That is interesting that she sometimes kills faster than other times. And woah, a large bug or mouse? Do you know about how big she is?

Around 4 inches or so. But once she molts I'll have a better judgement, provided she doesn't destroy her molt this time.
