    IMO wt+ feed good but spiders feed better!

    My spider does not wobble.

    She does miss and gets turned around with her food sometimes, though. Never seen the actual "wobble" action happen with her.

    My pastel female is one of my best feeders. She has never refused a meal and she always accepts seconds if offered...

    Now my albinos on the other hand, jeez they are picky...

    My first pastel was a hit or miss feeder and would not be converted to f/t. My current boy eats every week, and quite eagerly at that.

    My spider has always been one of my strongest feeders ;)

    I just picked up a female spider BP yesterday at the hamburg show, so she hasn't eaten yet. I haven't seen her wobble, I guess I will see when I feed her if she has it or not.

    I can only account for all of the pastel I have or have had. ALL of them feed great until they hit 600-800 grams and shut off. When they do feed again, it's usually only mice or it has to be live....no exceptions.

    If those of you stating your Pastels have only refused a couple of times, and they are still small, it is coming. Just be prepared for disappointment.lol.

    I have an 8 year old Pastel female that is around 2800 grams on a good day. It was 5 years before I got a clutch out of her and she has not gone since. She's a live mouse feeder normally but takes small rats once in a blue moon. She's been locking with my Spider het Axanthic so I'm hopeful for this season. I have a 2010 Pastel Axanthic that started great on rats. She just shut off earlier this year as well as her sib Pastel het Axanthic that was a poor feeder to begin with. Both are still only around 600 grams. Pastels suck:P
