My Chile loves his crickets...but won't eat mealies or waxies or anything. Keep reading caresheets that say the same thing...is there anything else he could eat?

Crickets will e just fine for your rosie, you can maybe try locusts too but unlike most reps, tarantulas don't require a varied diet, just anything that moves. All my terrestrials eat crix and my arboreals eat locusts

i dont find any of my Tarantulas fussy if they dont eat the food they not hungry or ready to molt, i dont feed my Ts mealworms coz i hate them they eat anythink and if u dont know if ur t is ready to molt that mealworm wouldnt care and have a munch i say u can try locust they work my chilean loves them and crickets, i know when adults can feed pinkies but i find my chilean rose dont eat much so i dont bother. but all my other 4 spiderlings eat maggets and pin head crickets.

Thanks so much Zoe and Gem!! I just thought he'd get bored of a pure cricket diet, even though its more than sufficient. he doesn't even acknowledge mealies, but many locusts would go down well as a treat!!

Thanks so much!!

I've never fed mealies to my t's...mainly because I've been bitten by mealies and I'm scared one would bite a t and damage it!

My C.Rose eats Locust purely because I cant stand crickets.

I usually take a bit ot there Big back legs off so they cant jump............ makes it easier for the spider to catch.
