tarantula kat hey so excited to see Rob Tarantulaguy1976 getting back in the action? !! BAM!!!

[@tinabbaker37]

Found the Sweet Escape. Thank you!!! Love it.

[@gutz323]

Do you put the crickets in the fridge for a little while before feeding them just to slow them down? If I put a cricket in them small enclosures with the lid off, I would have a loose cricket hopping around my room. Crickets are a pain in the arse in my experience. They never stay put. It's OK when you get them in and shut the lid, but I always have to be quick.

omg the dancing part i am dyingggggg with laughter 😭🤣

Love you Kat, and youre wicked sense of humour!!! So interesting and entraining. Thank you for another great movie much love from the uk !!! Love heart 💓

[@Heidicabye]

Hey so we have 2 slings/almost juveniles (1 yr old now but no one can seem to tell us if they're juveniles yet) and just a bub sling (6 months old) but we've been told by breeders never to leave crickets in with them and to remove both the back legs of the crix so they cant hurt the ts. Is this right information? We feed them weekly and as it's been more warmer they've been doing great take downs (we live is Australia). The two 1 yr olds are a sp cooktown goliath and a sp Champagne Robustus and the bub is an sp4 yellow. Any info would be so so much appreciated x

[@cova6995]

3:37 Overcast is actually fantastic as natural lighting for filming because it evens out all of the lighting. So you weren’t doing anything wrong! 😋

[@Shannon-LikeTheRiver]

Watching this as I'm about to feed my 1st tarantula crickets for the 1st time🙃

[@floydalcantara8785]

I do love slings too!

Nice feedings. That G. grossa is interesting.

[@JamesKing2understandinglife]

I find your videos very interesting. Good luck with your spiders.

Miss videos with your adorable baby tarantulas!! 😍❤🕷️

Omg the little mini drumstick 🍗 for teeny Spidey Sling is too cute. I wouldn't of thought if that, it's a good idea. I have jumping Spiders & am watching your videos as part of my research before I get my first Tarantula xx

[@heididani7534]

I love watching your videos and get excited whenever I see that you've uploaded, I swear I learn something new every time I watch a new video! I want your shirts so bad! -Heidi

[@executivebexley252]

Slings are my favourite, they're so cute! They can take down some impressive size crickets. My T.Albo sling hides alllll the time, I never see him!

[@jdcass638]

Awesome baby happy-dance.

[@ashido-t9d]

Your slings are adorable❤❤

[@SuperLoops]

really nice video I like to see tiny spiders they are so smol and cute 😭😭 but also they can be super feratious hungry little spiderlets are fearless when they pounce their foods one of my most precious little ones moulted overnight its my Homoeomma chilensis i waited for ages to find one for sale and it was the most tiniest little spiderlet Ive ever had and its growing sooo slowly and it spends so long in premoult not eating I keep thinking its going to die on me but Im happy today bcus it moulted 💕

[@YokaiPie]

My boyfriend was having that problem with a birdeater species, a tinyyy little sling. I kept telling him not to worry, they can be in pre-molt for a while, but I know how it feels to worry about them. It's not like they can tell us what's going on lol the stress is real

[@petraoswald6606]

😊🎉🎉 i love your Videos. Take care a loot of greatings from germany ❤

[@jasmineroberts6034]

Would it be too much to ask for a list of the names of species that are in this video?

[@thesmashingolives]

OMG the G. Actaeon dancing made my day! I just got one, it's about the same size, about 3 weeks ago. I've offered it food once a week since I've gotten it and it's not taking anything, just sitting in it's hide. Is this a sign it's going to molt?

[@kaciefraker8399]

Actually thanks for posting this

[@michaelyoung3175]

Hair looks great!

[@samhaines8228]

so beautiful!! natural light does them justice, for sure. Nice to get acquainted with the young'uns. (9:00) *eh-KLEE-zee-Ass-tick-us* hope that helps, but I get it, some words/names just take a little getting used to, for any number of reasons. Lovely X-mas tree~ So wish they had life-size anatomically correct tarantula lights (with breed accurate colors!) great for any occasion ;)

[@WaleshiddenhistoryMD]

I noticed some of your containers don't have any ventilation holes, or is the camera just not picking them up

[@eatsyoucat2584]

Finally! Feeding clip 🕷🥰

[@takenbysleep-_-1036]

video idea - Christmas enclosure ? 🙏🏻

My B emilia is scared of its food also haha

[@christopherreeves3264]

I'm new to your channel love your videos and your really beautiful

[@tinabbaker37]

LOL...Booty Boogie :-) ...Where can I get enclosures like yours??? I've been watching so many videos on making them and have made some. I only have 5 Ts but it is addicting but I want to get more experience before adding any more. I will be ordering merch as soon as I get passed the holidays. Hope you get some Tank Tops

[@TheblackWidowakascarlett]

So many baby’s. That’s my next video is sling feeding. Never goes well. All mine hide.

[@albinogaming6187]

0:39 is the start of feeding

[@sadigriot]

newbie here! So i notice different enclousures for same size slings. Is it for some reason like species or just because thats what you manage at the time? im trying to get into this Tarantula thing as i'm currently a centipede keeper

[@susanhull2855]

Why did that one tarantula dance? Do they do that regularly?

[@17Comfort]

I gave my T a big cricket because the shop only had them what will happen? My T is smaller than the cricket

[@meghanleigh4007]

Can we get an update on the vics?!👀💝

[@isaraoyou]

Hey Kat! Love the sling feeding clips 🥰 I wonder if you noticed your last sling you fed got a missing leg? Hope it has recovered now 🙌

[@anitalangford6975]

My slings are soooo hard to get to eat. I am jealous.

[@Lennarthanke5959]

Is it true that slings ate boltier than juveniles or adult tarantulas ?😊

[@khaldrogo1908]

I know im super late but can we have a whole T dancing compilation ??

[@panuxy69]

Love "tulas" the only prolem with they is you cant pet they

[@playdead1892]

Grammostola ❤️❤️

[@werner1]

I'm feeding my slings a bit extra, going to be away for a week going to add extra water dishes. I was hoping someone would make a video how to prepare your spider's and spiderlings if you are going away (if no one wants to help and no spider-sitting service) I'm in South Africa

[@RenegadEfw260]

Cool video I like it was all slings. On your first attempt if familiar with sling nature the cricket was a decent size for a sling not to mention u dropped it right in the ts safe zone out of the blue it startled it it didn’t at all mean it wasn’t hungry what I like to do if the crickets r semi big for being baby crickets or even small adult crickets for bigger slings I pull off their jumping legs so they avoid startling the slings and just crawl around like any normal insect and the slings normally get it with ferocity I’m sure the first sling would of Had a much better attempt if u tried pullin one or both legs off the cricket and setting it forward to walk right toward the t so he feels the vibration ahead of time opposed to not knowing it’s there till it plummets near ur head and into ur little safety hole I also could be wrong it was fat it Could be ready for pre molt or anything but I wouldn’t be so fast to give up on them slings def act like babies when they get startled lol anyways great video I loved the switch up for the feeds!

Can you feed t’s roaches that run around your house? I feel like it saves money, make their stomachs happy, and save on pest control lol

God I wish you'd feed me to a tarantula

[@delacyfans]

Some of my slings I literally never see! My N. Incei I have no idea if it’s still alive! I’ll just keep putting a bit of food in and hoping it’s having a little nibble here and there!

[@tarantulakat]

my N incei always hides too but I just rehoused her. I thought about including her in this video but I don't think she counts as a sling anymore since they're a dwarf sp

I don't buy slings due to the fear of getting a male and not a female BUT after watching this video I'm reconsidering giving slings a chance. FYI: Dont get me wrong I enjoy slings but I try to shoot for females.

Great vid, Love the dancing sling in rhythm too. Now I want a sling or 2 again. Keep up the awesome work.

[@CRISPR-CasNine]

How often do you feed your tiny slings? And do you just do 1 appropriate sized cricket? I just got a itsy bitsy C. fimbriatus and C. versicolor. Maybe 3/4 each. Also, do you have tips for telling when the tiny tiny ones are about to molt? I’ve looked online but it seems so hard to tell when they are that tiny.

[@KCannaQueen]

If you ever visit Cali can we smoke a joint together? And go look at my favorite reptile/arachnid store? Lol

im a big fan of bean weevils for slings.. its very easy to sustain a culture and if its something you can get hold of i would recommend trying them

[@jeffreygolish3827]

How large were the slings that had some color? It's always great when they no longer look just like the substrate. And some of the takedowns were as good as adults. You have them well trained!

[@tarantulakat]

I don't think any of them were larger than 1.5 maaaaybe 2 in top. thank you!
