Difficulty with Mealworms

[Deserthawk]

i have been trying to feed my T using mealworms, but the moment i drop my mealworm into the enclosure it just digs down under the substrate and dissapears.
Is there anything i could do to stop this?

Cut its head off...it will still wiggle and the spider will sense it.

That pretty much sums it up

Or you could do what I just did. Spider reacted to the worm but dropped it so I got her a roach. Tossed in the roach and she grabbed the worm AND roach. Pig.

This, or you can crush the head with tweezers.

Start a roach colony?

100% the best way to feed any type of worm to tarantulas .

I'm in agreement with Tortoise Tom...start a red runner colony...my understanding is better protein, won't bite the Ts(crickets can) AND will love your kitchen scraps...I actually find them pretty interesting too...OH! my chickens like the extras since I only have 20 Ts!!

You can try with mealworms, superworms, and crickets too, they offer high protein for all pets.
