Just curious. I try to mix up the diet on my spiders. I feed crix, grasshoppers and other insects. (BTW, I live where there are no pesticides so that is not an issue with me)
I can't get anything to eat a mealworm myself. I have been looking into a roach colony though. From what I hear they are super easy to raise.Washout said:I feed crickets and mealworms, but I'm not having a lot of luck with the mealworms.. Once my roach colony gets going then I'm never feeding crickets again.
Well, there is this to consider: the roaches are interesting in and of themselves. I've got 50-60 Ts and my single roach bin could easily feed 3X that many, but I wouldn't scale it back because I enjoy keeping the roaches.ShaunHolder said:Id like to raise a roach colony, but I dont know if I have enough T's to make it worth the trouble.
I'm just hoping to get lots of nymphs to feed my slings. Right now though they are pretty voracious. I feed 50 small crickets to my group of slings every 2-3 days right now. Well probably 3x that, petco gives you a heck of a lot of crickets when you ask for 50 smalls...LPacker79 said:Crickets, pinkies, fuzzies, super worms for my T's. Roaches eventually if my roach colony ever grows large enough to feed from! I really need more adults.....
