Hi i would just like to know how often to feed my Tarantulas? I have a L.Klugi who loves to munch and would eat 2 or three crickets a day happily. Should i only feed every three days on a daley basis? :blink:

everyone has their own idea on amount of feedings, again it also depends on the size of ur T.

Juvie and adult ts can be fed min of once a week and slings twice a week. slings usually one cricket and adults 3-4 depending on the size of crickets u are feeding and size of ur T.

Hope this helps!

this is only what I do, lets see what advice the rest will give u.

Thanks my bigger T just seems to want more than 3 large crickets. He seems to love the occ. super worm though.

my ts get a variety of food as well, between roaches, crickets and mealworms and not one of them are fussy at all

there are a few ts that will probably eat till they pop but its not good for them. If u think about the wild they most surely wont eat as 'much' as we feed our ts!

remember over feeding could cause them more harm than good.

I do mix it up giving them roaches, superworms and crickets!

Don't overfeed your tarantula. Most tarantulas can live on 3-5 crickets a week. Some tarantulas can go a few months without feeding. If you are concerned, a good dealer or knowledgeable keeper will advise you but remember, they will ALWAYS need water. Overfeeding will cause the tarantula’s abdomen to blow up like a balloon, and this could cause it to rupture.

It is not necessary to purchase a large quantity of crickets from your favorite pet store. Your pet can live on two or three crickets about every 12-14 days. Six crickets a month is perfectly fine for an average size tarantula and this is not a hard and fast rule, but rather, general guideline. Overfeeding can lead to problems and is not necessary for a healthy pet. If you feel like feeding six to eight crickets per month that is OK too.
