[QUOTE="Nunua, post: 165118, member: 4947"] [USER=28718]@Hemolymph[/USER] has a point what I did not think through. Big spiders like T. stirmi would need bigger prey than just superworms - Mouse pinkies, large roaches and occasional hornworms should do. For old world burrowers, I guess the time will show. If you get to lure them out to snatch the worm or crush their head and leave next to the burrow entrance, you'll learn if your Ts do accept them or not. But otherwise I see no problem in starting with superworms and mealworms and observing if they work with individual Ts or not. [/QUOTE]
