    Spider Wobble

    hi, i just would like to know does a spider wobble effect its feeding?
    i got a female spider nearly 1.3kg. she got this weird problem when it comes to feeding. the weird thing is she can down an adult gerbil with no problem but when it comes to mice the size of a dwarf hamster or dwarf hamster itself she has problem downing it.
    she just puts it in her mouth till half way then when she gets lazy she will just spit it out. ==" which is very annoying, it happens sometimes only =S
    someone can suggest a better way not to waste food? haha.


    p/s- newbie here down know if this is the correct place to post. sorry if its not the correct place

    First and foremost, hamsters and gerbils can be very vicious, so I hope you're pre-killing them. Second, hamsters have a LOT of fur and balls can be become impacted when trying to digest it. I would stick to mice, or preferably rats. Now that you've fed her a gerbil though, she may never take rats or mice.. Can't really help you with the wasting food other than that you should stick to one food source and not try feeding it all types of prey. They imprint on a specific item and will refuse anything else, they are notoriously picky eaters.

    He said that they were the SIZE of gerbils and hamsters, not that they were gerbils and hamsters.

    Err...nevermind - just went back and re-read!
