[QUOTE="Nunua, post: 131034, member: 4947"] My [I]A. geniculata[/I] juvie "Maisa" also attacked on crickets right away, but actually got startled by the very first dubia I offered her so I took the dubia away and decided to try again later. The second time I hold the dubia upside down with tongs - As it started to move its legs, Maisa got interested in the movement and turned herself towards it. At that point I dropped the dubia in and it was pounced on right away. :D I usually don't tong feed her because as greedy as she is, there is a big possibility that she'll bite the tongs instead of the feeder. But at this time the tongs were very helpful to see if she was interested in :T: [/QUOTE]
