[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 171773, member: 3872"] Some Ts prefer smaller food items, my Tapi is like that. She kills one 5/8" cricket/roach, holds it under her arm and grabs a second one and then goes back to her dirt curtain hide. I've had a few instances of a T in premolt that has killed an annoying feeder and not eaten it. That is different. The T is preventing a potential threat before it goes into it's most vulnerable state, it's being proactive. However, if your T is taking and eating more than one food item try the next larger size; unless it's shy like my Tapi, lol, it might save you from having to monitor multiple food items in it's cage [/QUOTE]
