1. I just moved my GBB sling into a new enclosure last night. The substrate is a mix of ecoearth and sanitized play sand that I use for my hermit crabs. He has hiding areas made from cork bark and some fake foliage. But instead of making a burrow he has climbed up into the top corner of the enclosure where the shape of the plastic container makes a platform and is sitting there. Is it possible he doesn't like the substrate? He was previously kept on completely dried-out and crumbly 100% ecoearth at the petstore.
2. I just adopted a tarantula from someone on CL (I have no idea what it is. I posted a picture here: http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/gallery/showimage.php?i=23023&c=11#post16463) and he said he's been feeding it lizards and pinky mice. I'm not prepared to feed it either of those and I think that's excessive. Will switching her diet from vertebrates to invertebrates have any adverse effects on her? Is it likely that she will only eat vertebrates now? The guy said he'd had her for about 6 years.
Thanks for your patience. I'm still a newbie in this hobby.
