The best advice I can offer you is not to feed mice to tarantulas. :colbert: Since they're inverts, tarantulas have no need for the calcium that is found in rodents and consuming it can cause them health problems such as a wet (difficult) molt that they might die in. I know in the wild they can resort to eating mice if necessary, but as a pet owner, if you want your tarantula to live a long life, it's best to feed insects such as crickets, meal (super) worms, silk worms, etc. :yes: Enjoy your tarantula, the Grammostola pulchripes (Chaco golden knee) is an excellent choice for your first one! ;)
It's just a treat for him. 😊

Re: Chaco Golden Knee
I have to get pictures sometime, but he is officially a boy! He moulted and out popped hooks, haha.
