Thanks for the response. I figured that they should only eat crickets. Like I said I will always put the animals needs first, I just had the mouse eating thing rolling around in my head and needed to put it out there.
I have been reading caresheets and such but I like to hear what works for other people then put together the pieces the work for me. With a new animal I usually start with the recommended basics and work from there.
OBT, that's orange baboon tarantula right?... yeah I'm gonna stick with nice tame NW stuff.
@Boanerges
Once a year... wow simpler than snakes even. lol.
Thanks for the info on the hairs.. your the first one to mention that the cage will contain them too... it's common sense I guess but I hadn't thought about it.
I'm really leaning towards the RoseHair now. Sounds like a nice simple spider. Especially since they still kinda freak me and I don't want to have to stick my hand in a lot of web for cage maintenance... not yet. I'm sure I'll get over my fears. The Pink toe was on my list cause it's arboreal and sounded like a more interesting set-up, but I've heard they can be jumpy.
More Q's:
What's the minimum floor space for a adult Rosehair? What's too big?
Enclosure suggestions?
Can they really not climb porcelain?
How often do you feed and how much?
Oh, and if I do use coco fiber, how long does the stuff take to dry out after you expand it?
I've seen people plant live plants in T cages. I've got a small herb garden. Would it be okay to plant something maintainable in the cage? Like lemon balm, or mint... or would the scent be too much for the spider?
