Just pop the crickets in and bingo. If not eated after 24hrs, remove them and try again in 5 days.

This species doesnt come from Mexico, its referred to as Honduran Curly Hair although its actually more common in Costa Rica, and its scientific name is Brachypelma albopilosum.
I have about 12 of these, they grow fairly quickly for a Brachy, they're a little skittish and prefer things a little more moist than other Brachy's. They enjoy burrowing and I'd suggest 1 or 2 crickets per week, no bigger than their abdomen.
I suggest you take a read of Selina's sling care thread and Lucifus't thread too, both of which have been stickied, that should provide plenty of info for you.
