Juvi feeding
Just a small question, My juvi G. rosea had its first feed yesterday, and i was going to leave it for aother week, but my sister says fed him every three days, and then another person told me to feed her once everyday because its still a juvi, so i would like a clearer idea on how often to feed it.
Many thanks

i feed my spiderlings every 3-4 days really and my mexican redknee is about a juv and i dont feed him much coz he just waste them but every 5days for him it depends on the size of its food and my adult chilean rose i feed every 5 days i think. but if i give my chilean rose a small cricket i feed her again 3 days time.

Many thanks
but does it also depend on the size of the cricket? because the brown crickets i actually have are around 1cm and my T is about 2.5" possibly just under 3" in leg span

At 2.5" l/s I would be feeding the standard size crickets. 3-4 crickets once a week. General rule of thumb is crickets the size of the spiders abdomen so standard or large would be better for that size G. rosea.

I don't go on a "i feed my spider weekly" thing. My lot get fed as and when i can be bothered and when i have food in. In the wild they don't get a cricket walk past every monday, wednesday and friday and say "EAT ME!" do they
 lolPlus, chances are being a chile rose it will hardly eat anyway lol

lol, unfortunatly my dad likes the sounds of chirrping crickets so he always buys more than necessary so i end up having crickets in stock all the time >.< handy though because my beardie is rather happy with it.
So :/ hmm so just feed her whenever i think appropriate?

Go by size of her abdomen too. Too fat feed less, too skinny feed more. Simple!
