[QUOTE="Jeef, post: 221401, member: 36825"] I remember how excited I was when I started my dubia colony. Especially when I saw what the local shops were charging for them. Then reality set in. I have a G. pulchra that will eat anything. After that it is hit and miss as to who will eat what. I try superworms once in a great while. Those are hit and miss as well. My G. pulchra is the only one I could ever get to eat a hornworm. I should mention the rest of my big ones are Aphonopelmas and Brachypelmas with a T. albo thrown in for good measure. In the interests of economics, I do crickets more than anything else. Even the little guys get little crickets. Every few months I'll do dubias for the bigger ones, but I've learned to crush heads one at a time. If the first one doesn't immediately take it, give it to the next one until someone eats it. It has been my experience with dubias that if they don't immediately take it, you'll be picking it out of the enclosure the next day. [/QUOTE]
