[QUOTE="Sam Sam, post: 73240, member: 4387"] I feed mine crickets that are around 3/4 the size of my T although I have seen them take on slightly bigger than themselves with little issue. Never come across anyone feeding their big T's 1" crickets though. Mine also tend to not bother with the smaller ones. I'm sure somebody on here will know why exactly as it's a brilliant forum. I have a few fussy eaters, Jaffro my curly being one. I power feed my slings every two days and my larger T's are fed around once a week, my B.Vagans (3.5" dls last molt) eats around 4 medium-large crickets a week. I find that each of my tarantula's is different-some will gorge themselves while others seem to be trying out the next new fad diet. I would suggest trial and error...you will grow with her and learn her signs for hunger, molt or other issues etc. I never let mine absolutely fill themselves (or I would never see them) and tend to try keep the abdomen around the same size as-just a bit bigger than the carapace. People will have their own opinion on that one. They do generally refuse food when a molt is just around the corner though so have you seen a web mat in her enclosure? [/QUOTE]
