What should I feed my tarantula?

[RaiderJ]

My tarantula is getting ready to molt again... which means she'll be hungry when it's all done. To that end, what should I feed her?

I got some flack last time for feeding her a pinkie mouse, so this time I'll let the will of AT decide! I'll video tape it and post it when it's done. It'll probably be another week or so before she molts.



Edit: Video of previous post-molt feeding. Music is Moonlight Sonata.

Mouse or cricket. Lizards/amphibians are cool.

Can it eat a whole mouse? If so, that's my vote for you sucky ass poll.

I'll add a poll once I get some more options. And, yes, she can eat a whole mouse. I'll add a link to the previous video above.

If it can take down crickets and pickies without a problem, have you tried a hissing roach ? My chameleons loved them but they are get expensive to use as feeders.

Write in vote for the cute fuzzy mouse.

Anoles eat flies.

Crickets are good luck.

Mice, well, you know.

Better music this time too! Beethoven's 5th would be appropriate.

Where do you get your roaches?

Where's the poll?

My vote is for another pinkie (if only to piss off the mouse-loving hippies again). We occasionally feed pinkies (frozen, not live) to our bearded dragon, but I imagine feeding them to a tarantula is much more interesting to watch.

Other other white meat.

You could try feeding her one of the mouse huggers who gave you crap the last time. But if you can't come up with any of those you just give her three mice for every one that they won't eat.

I used to get them from a local shop, Texas Exotics. He sold them as pets and/or feeders for about $3-$5 each.
