You don't need to feed them rodents unless literally nothing else is available. Adult rodents can sometimes beat a tarantula. Pinkies make more sense if you're going to do that.

If your tarantula needs larger food items, try earthworms or hornworms or hissing roaches.

The cleanup from those is nasty or so I've heard. Pinkies still have some calcium. I'm not sure that the link between bad molts and calcium is 100% confirmed, but why take the chance?

These guys will eat practically anything from hissers to earthworms to crickets, even locusts. A lot of these feeders are much more affordable then pinkies as well.

I have had good luck with hissers. They are big, juicy and breed readily. They are also great pets!
