[QUOTE="PanzoN88, post: 162572, member: 4548"] 1. crickets are annoying and they stink, they would slip through the tongs, so I would just pick up the crickets with a dram vial or if I couldn't find one then as a last resort, my hand. However if you are able to find them I recommend cutting up mealworms or superworms. Much less of a hassle than crickets. 2. When it comes to tarantulas who have just molted, it is usually recommended to wait at least a week in order to give it time to harden up, as tarantulas are quite fragile after a fresh molt. 3. Is your enclosure large? A large enclosure may make it harder for a tarantula to find its food. Most cases they'll just dig up the food when they feel like it (remove any uneaten food after at most a day. [/QUOTE]
