    Feeding question? (I know, not another one)
    Back story:
    I have a 1500g ish male spider. I got him last summer as a proven breeder. He was a great eater of f/t up until the middle if December when he stopped eating.

    Now:
    We have been feeding him live. He only dropped maybe 100g during his fast. He has eaten live for the last 3 feedings.

    Question? Should I try and bulk him up on live then try and make the switch back? Or try and feed f/t from now on?

    It took him a while to strike the first live we have him. The second was a bit faster. Yesterday he hammered the little rat right out of the gate. So in wondering if due to the feeding response, he may have his appetite back now and may take to f/t again. Thoughts? Thanks guys.

    I'm not an expert or anything but I would probably try to get him back on f/t, if that's what you prefer to feed him. You might have to try fresh killed, then back to ft/t.

    Thanks. I have read that thread. It's very informative. I may just plump him up on lives and offer a f/t in a few weeks. He seems to have hi appetite back which make me happy!
