Re: Goliath Bird Eater Tarantula.
*shudder* I don't konw why I looked at this when I am so petrified by anything with more than 6 legs, but I did...it's kinda cool, in a scary sort of way I didn't know they are mice or rats. Anyways, cool spider (I guess haha) I have the major creepy crawlies now, but still good pics ^_^

Re: Goliath Bird Eater Tarantula.
so you have tarantulas as well? cool. yeah feeding them mice is also an alternate feed, but mice dont provide the same nutrients as insects do.but it's still ok to feed them rat pups.

Re: Goliath Bird Eater Tarantula.
Nice blondi. Do you know the sex? Mine is a little over 6 inches now and keeps destroying skins, so I haven't sexed it yet. How big is yours?

Actually, they get much larger than that. Mine is currently 10 inches and isn't done growing yet.
As was said, vertebrate prey make good alternative food sources, when typical food sources are not available, however, feeding an all vert. diet to a tarantula, especially the large species such as Theraphosa and Lasidora, on a regular basis can cause problems with nutrition, thus it can cause molting problems.
