[QUOTE="Casey K., post: 214249, member: 1090"] At 1/2" my G. pulchra slings were eating 1/4" pinhead crickets no problem and they tackled them....I wasn't pre-killing. I don't think the fruit flies are enough food for them. The fruit flies work best for the dwarf species and tarantulas that are 1/4" or smaller in leg span. I would keep half of your substrate damp at all times and half of it dry. That way they have a comfort zone of both and they can drink from the substrate whenever they need to. My house stays at a constant 72 degrees Fahrenheit at all times. I have no issues keeping them or any other tarantula. I also have versicolor slings (they're prone to having issues with improper husbandry) and they do just fine. [/QUOTE]
