feeding my tarantulas in quarantine

[@MrWhitefeather93]

I'm so glad you addressed the parasite issue. I've been feeding crickets since forever, but my tarantula collection just kinda grew over the last two months and I've been really watching the crickets. Gut loading them and observing them for at least 24 hours and making sure I don't see horse hair worms or anything killing them off.

[@takenbysleep-_-1036]

The best thing about quarantine is seeing cute animal crossing screenshots on twitter and also going back and watching all of your old videos

Omg Exotics Lair! I'm so happy to see you. You've helped me overcome my arachnophobia. I am obsessed with the Brazilian Pink Bloom. My god are they gorgeous! If you do have one I'd really like to see them in a video. Stay safe and stay happy.

That tarantula in the thumbnail is gorgeous! She has the most beautiful contrasting colors, blue and yellowish orange, so awesome and she's so fuzzy! 😍

You had me at animal crossing. Seriously though, tell me that game didn't come out at the perfect time.

[@joshuahull9982]

I have a dubia colony and a red runner colony. I have thousands of both species. You might wanna try red runner cockroaches if you haven't already.

[@randomguythatvibes5161]

Try holding the dubia by it's behind and have it touch the substrate and that way it will start moving

[@pale9819]

I’ve been playing Sonic Mania and Pokémon Ultra moon the last few weeks. Since I’m in quarantine hunting shiny Eevees is a nice way to spend my time.

[@vicmo5837]

This quarantine actually made me watch a lot of youtube videos which eventually lead me to tarantulas videos. Now I want to get one lol, I already have its enclosure and have researched, picked my spider a Mexican redknee:). Once this quaratine is over I'm getting it lol

[@grifmaximus]

6:51 same exact thing with my OBT...

[@apaoacil]

Thank u kat for entertaining us in this kind of situation.. Having tarantulas really help me a lot to enjoy staying at home..

[@SpiritsEnchantments]

Hi, Kat, I just ordered from the Dubia roach dude and am super excited to get rid of these dang crickets. The super worms freak my guys out~ even my mature male, Itsy. He's this huge boy who runs when he sees super worms! Thanks for the video. As always, I love your tarantulas and I am up to 20 now. Take care and I hope you and your family are safe and your daughter is doing well hanging out at home.

[@kamaussie]

I exclusively use crickets because they're readily available and dubia's are illegal in Australia, plus my pet store where I get them the staff look after them, gutload etc.

[@CrazyPoodle]

Hey kat, whats called what you use to hold phone? Cool video by the way. My T’s (and ants) get variety so, mealworms, superworms, crickets or dubias

[@taoutdoors8110]

All I feed is dubias tbh, I have to feed so many more crickets compared to the amount of dubias I need to feed.

[@sunnivab302]

Nice video, Kat!

[@taeviansworldofreptiles3828]

I have found my arboreal t is better with crickets cause they actually climb up to where she will get them if i just drop one or two in during feeding.

[@tarantulakat]

[@kentvikman1086]

Fairly good start to a Saturday morning; a new feeding video from Kat👍.

[@1colb270]

I prefer feeding my arachnids with red runners because they are very active and they cant burrow

[@itzmaaark7620]

Your Intro Is Legit Awesome😂

[@crotalusstudy8874]

Thank you for continuing to provide great videos during this..."situation". I appreciate the work you put into your videos and the information you provide for us all. Keep up the great work!

[@momangus7791]

where does she get those containers with the teal lids?? very interested.

[@dattand2085]

I use Dubia almost exclusivly nowadays. You will have a much easier time when you crush their heads, which can be a bit unpleasent but it works well to prevent burrowing and playing dead. Red Runner are also ok but with those I am too afraid that they could infest my home if they escaped. And crickets are just nasty, wretched things 😄 Btw I really like your enclosures!

[@ashleymarcy265]

I know this is a stupid question but when you have tarantulas in the regular store bought tanks, idk how to explain it lol, fo you have to take the entire lid off or could you just open the little window? I want to get a tarantula but it stresses me out that I'd have to open the whole lid. I hope that makes sense lol

[@JuliannasMemes]

Personally with dubias, if I know the T will eat I'll prekill since it'll still twitch and move a bit afterwards but no burrowing or playing dead! ^^

[@Jon3800]

Nice vid Kat

[@JeremyGoneWildPets]

Dubia are friends apparently, according to your tarantulas

[@GavnerWinterLuver]

Do your dubias not have holes for ventilation since it's such a big container? I want to move my roaches into a bigger steralite bin but currently dont have access to a tool to put ventilation in, so I'm just curious :)

[@tarantulakat]

I didn’t put any ventilation in but the lid doesn’t seal shut .. like if they could climb (they can’t) they could get out bc it doesn’t seal

[@فنكجَلِيدٍ]

Yay, dubias! Also, I think I'll download the video and cut the timespan between 7:13 and 7:18 just to remind Kat that she's also afraid of tarantulas attacking her even when she posts memes on the contrary.

[@jjcooter]

How about mouse spider you have any of those

[@Cherub1m]

some Ts can be picky and deny roaches, my 2 really like them and thats good because they are so easy to keep alive, don´t jump around, don´t do a concert in the evening.

[@susanmartin3762]

[@johnbrazell2433]

Here is my solution to the dubia roach issue with feeding tarantulas. I keep two colonies of roaches. A colony of Dubia roaches which I feed to my extremely hungry bearded dragon. The other colony is lobster roaches which I used to feed my tarantulas. Lobster roaches are very active and do not play dead so they attract the attention of the tarantula very quickly. But be forewarned that the lobster roaches can climb glass so you have to take precautions to keep them contained. The other issue with lobster roaches is they are extremely fast especially the males which have wings. They can flutter but they cannot fly. The care for the lobster roaches is essentially the same as dubia roaches. They are both live bearers and require heat to propagate. so do yourself a favor and a research Lobster roaches and how to care and keep them and they will make a great replacement for dubia roaches when feeding your tarantulas. I hope this is helpful to you and your followers.

[@cookiocooky]

Animal crossing made me want a tarantula... no idea why getting chased by them got me interested 😂😂😂

I stopped using crickets cus I lost 1 T. from nematodes... then a second ALMOST- I CURED IT. It was in death curl and I saved it! And posted a video about it! Maybe u can lmk what u think happened..

[@TheDarthStewie]

when feeding dubia you need to crush their head. it keeps them from escaping, and keeps them twitching so the t will eat it better.

[@curthatt6461]

My leopard gecko doesn’t like dubias ,I did. She’s been mealworm picky too lately. But she loves crickets again! Big time! I pull off the back legs and tong feed her.

You should try playing gravity fall remastered. It's such a fun and unique game.

Maybe because im new to the game so if this sounds dumb, forgive me. BUT HOW IS ANY KIND OF ROACH A CLEANER OPTION TO FEED UR ANIMALS? its a roach therefore disgusting right? I know thats not exactly the case cause allot of people use them but isnt a roach a scavenger like a catfish eats the crap off the river floor, a roach eats anything and everything?

Cool takedowns, but I wouldn't leave those dubias inside if tarantulas don't take them. They'll burrow and god only knows when they decide to emerge outside. Maybe low risk but still not worth taking.

the plus side of dubia is they won't hurt your tarantula, so it's safe to leave it be and hopefully it'll find it as a snacc later lol
