Horned Worms

[BigBill'sUniverse]

Up till now I have had no problems feeding my tarantulas anything. I decided to give horned worms a go.
No one is having it. lol. To the point of most of them run away from them.

Anyone have any tips or tricks on feeding new stuff to their T's?

Gonna take the horned worms back to the petshop and donate them as they are almost full grown and I dont need a bunch of big moths flying around my house.

No tricks, I just put the new feeder near where the tarantula is, and if they take it in 24 hours, then success, if not I try again in a few days.

I too, have never had much luck giving hornworms to my crew. Fortunately for me I usually have at least one spider who eats absolutely anything.

Unfortunately, that is the best I got for that. I don't worry about giving my tarantulas a varied diet. They seem to do just fine off just crickets. I've tried other things with mixed results.

My only T that will go for horn worms is my T apophysis

I got to go feed them to the lizards at the pet shop near me. So not a total loss.
I've gotten them all to eat dubias, redrunners, crickets, and super worms. So figured I'd give the horned worms a go. They almost double in size everyday so quickly out grew all of my T's.

My aphonos loved the adults way more. Messy though and scales fly everywhere but the predatory response was insane.
