Ahh, I see. Yeah, the reason I was asking was because we have about 10,000 mealworms ranging from near microscopic to huge, so I was seeing if the tiny ones would be suitable. Do you think a mix of pinhead crickets and tiny freshly molted mealworms would work? I could prekill them still of course, or simply go with the crickets. I mainly only ask for emergency situations. Our old petstore we relied on recently moved two hours away, leaving us stranded with a bp who only ate live with no where to get food. Thankfully, that week after three years he FINALLY decided he would take f/t. We have found a new reptile store that sells insects, and we do still have petsmarts around us if we get desperate, but I just wanted to think of a back up in case something happens to the stores around us. Most likely we won't need it, but you know, never hurts to ask!

I don't mind putting in extra work, we don't have many animals, and would only want these two tarantulas for now, so a little extra work for something that eats one or two bugs a week is not that big of a deal.

Thanks so much! I'm very excited. I'm still not sure when we will get them, I want them soon, but my boyfriend is stalling! But with all this knowledge I have now, by the time the day comes I'll be sure I am ready to take care of them!
