[QUOTE="swimbait, post: 59701, member: 3515"] I wouldn't start a colony if you have one tarantula, even if you get a second that's not very many. You would end up with 100s and 100s of roaches with nothing to feed them to. If you plan to start getting a lot more tarantulas, then they are a good idea. Keep in mind, dubia will attempt to burrow into the substrate the second they hit the ground, they aren't good feeders for picky eaters as they disappear quickly, the good thing is you don't have to worry as much as them munching on your T during a molt. If you do in fact start a colony, you are going to have to feed them something other than cheerios, fruits and veggies are ideal. You would spend more money feeding your colony than you would if you bought a single dubia weekly for your tarantula though... [/QUOTE]
