[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 163264, member: 29302"] Can't see it being any different to a t eating a rodent or small bird or lizard. I've seen a video of a H. gigas catching and eating a minnow in its enclosure which was set up -not sure if semi-aquatic is an accurate description- but there was a tub of water at substrate level. Apparently they've been observed doing this in the wild so the big thing now is to add a mini fishing pond to their enclosures lol. The bolus would be horrid though. Having said all that I wouldn't want to feed one anything wild caught, because I don't know what internal parasites it could be carrying or whether they could be transmitted to the tarantula.
