[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 169587, member: 29302"] In the wild large tarantulas are opportunistic and will eat whatever they can catch, including small rodents, lizards, snakes etc They don't call them birdeaters for nothing, that name famously came about from I believe an Avic being spotted eating a small bird. A lot of keepers as Arachnoclown shows above, periodically will feed a small rodent or lizard. I've also heard of keepers feeding small cubes of raw beef a couple of times a year to supplement their normal diet. I imagine they'd wiggle it about a bit to stimulate the feeding response lol. When my LP gets big in the future I can't see me feeding mice though. I haven't got anything against it, I just personally get creeped out seeing an invertebrate munching on a vertebrate! Lol [/QUOTE]
