how much is enough

Senior Member Posts : 232 makati Join date : 2011-07-26

marami na ako nababasa nag sabi sakin about feeding schedule sa T's pero how much is enough. like sa akin i have B. boehmei 4inches na sya pero feed ko sya one adult lateralis once a week. pero may nag sabi naman na masyado madalas ang once a week. dapat daw once a month. ano po yung tamang schedule of feeding?

kaya ba ng sub adult Tarantula na one adult lateralis once a month?

I also feed my ts only once a week. I think its fine. masyado na yata matagal ang 1 month although di naman mamamatay ang ts kahit walang food in few months. boring naman ang hobby mo kung once a month lang ang feeding time, IMO.. =)

ako po pag ng feeding sa mga t's ko walang schedule... basta naicipan kong pakainin, pkkainin ko, dnman kc nila kakainin ung prey kung ayaw nila or busog cla e, pag di nila ginalaw ung prey nila aalisin ko, then the next or following day try ko ulit... lalo na kung dpa cla adults i fed them frequently... (in my case lang po) para sakin po, 2 types ang feeding ung normal feeding na parang itutulad u cla sa wild na hndi cla everyday nakakakain o nkkhuli ng prey. and ung cnsabi nilang power feeding, means giving them fud as long as they eat each prey u give, ex. everyday, applicable to kung target mo is breeding, for them to reach maturity in a short period of tym. IMO lng po...

okay lang mga bro... as long as kinakain nila yung binibigay nyo.. baka kase sila ang kainin ng feeders or if prekilled feeders binigay nyo at hindi kinain may risk na langgamin..

Sakin 4 to 5 nymphs a week.. depende pag tinitignan ko yung slings kung masyadong lumolobo yung abdomen, hindi ko muna pakakainin. kinabukasan nalang ulit.. try ko kasi yung sinasabi nilang power feed. gutloaded yung nymphs.. stag booster mix w/ purina high protein.. subukan ko kung lalaki agad..

di ako expert..pero nakaktuwa kasi magpakain ng tarantula. yong mga maliliit..araw araw .hehehe..pero pag napakain ko sila ng mejo mas malaki sa kanila na lats..minsan nag skip ako ng isang araw. or binibigyan ko ng maliit na lats, pinakamalaki ko is 3inches or 4 inches siguro..mejo ina araw araw ko pa din.hanggat gusto nila kumain total pag ayaw naman nila .di na nila gagalawin.tapos pag ganun madalas pamoult na sila...

you would be surprised at the "hardy"ness ng brachys.

I have tons of slings. Naranasan na nila ang once a month kumain. Naranasan na din ang weekly. Meron din daily. They adapt quite well.

Advise: if you plan to powerfeed your tarantula at any stage (sling, juvy, subadult), make sure your terrestrial (or ground-dwelling) tarantulas don't get into a tall enclosure. A fall can kill an overfed tarantula.
