What should I feed my T’s?

[ArachnoHorn]

I always feed my T’s Dubai roaches because it is healthy and many people recommend it but I feel like my T’s are sick of it. They don’t eat the roach immediately which is dangerous because the roach might give off unwanted bacteria and viruses that might harm the spider. So I have been wanting to feed my T’s something else. My question is: which is better? Larvae or super worms. When you answer me, it would be crucial to keep in mind that I only have 20$.

I've never heard about bacteria and viruses from roaches harming tarantulas...sounds a little silly.
I have dubias but find i get better feeding responses from b. lateralis "redrunners"

Superworms or earthworms are cheap and most terrestrial tarantulas love them. Superworms are easy to breed and keep. I purchased 50 Superworms over 20 years ago and Im still feeding my minions years later from the same purchase.

My cousin had a roach that died and it started rotting. His Goliath bird eater caught an infection

Thanks, I will take consider in that

+1 for B lateralis "red runner" roaches

I bought a starter colony 5 years ago and still feed them to my Ts. Almost can't stop them from breeding.
