Apparently Ts will eat moths. I tried it once with my G. rosea and I don't think he even found it. I took it out after a day or two. Then again, he wasn't by any means an aggressive feeder. It might work better with an arboreal than terrestrial.
Well, I doubt a terrestrial would eat a moth, (though I've never tried it) I know aboreals eat moths. Some people breed waxworm moths to feed arboreals. Um... what is a house moth? (I'm a scientific name kinda person)
I've fed wax-worm moths to my T's a couple of times (mine are terrestrial) and stopped them flying away by dipping them in water (water-logs the wings) They did eat them, but IMO they aren't really much use as a meal as they are very small-bodied. For a small T (ie 1-2 inch) they'd make an ok meal. As for catching house-moths, just make sure (as Tarsier said) that they haven't been exposed to pesticides. If you can't be 100% on that, it's a risk to use them.
I have fed many arboreals moths..I catch them by the light at my garage.I have done it for years,I know there is a chance of pesticides,but nothing bad has come of it in 7 years of donig it
Yep - all my spiders have eaten moths at some point, specially the little ones (spiders). No ill effects at all, that I have noticed, and they seem to enjoy the extra challenge of catching flying things...
id agree,my aboreals seem to love the chase of catching moths,espcially my pokies and avics.Ive also fed them wax worm moths too but likes been said they really aint that meaty but still fun to watch get eaten:evil:
