[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 229166, member: 29323"] I feed my slings (spiderlings) every other day. So they have access to fresh food when they need it. But everything else gets fed once a week & I then have to remove uneaten crickets from at least 25% of my enclosures. Some tarantulas will go months without eating & never offer food until at least a week after molting, as fangs will be soft. Over feeding a T is not ideal, as being too fat, could affect their ability to molt easily. In the wild T's are ambush predators. That is, they sit & wait for the food to pass them by. So in the wild they probably go longish periods between meals. [/QUOTE]
