Feeding Tarantulas REAL GUMMY WORMS! (some are scared lol)

In today's video we feed many heckin' spiders including a few who aren't quite sure if these giant worm things are food or not.

Every time I see the feeding gummy worms video I just imagine you feeding your tarantulas candy gummy worms…🕷🐛🍭

[@teijaflink2226]

With REAL GUMMY WORMS, I really thought she meant she was trying candy.

I’m a gummy worm gummy bear song 😂😂😂

[@chazgoheen1586]

Imagine the people that take it literal and feed their Ts actual gummy worms. I jus can’t take this channel serious

[@peterbruns6124]

@@teijaflink2226 Haha... I think we all did!

[@kismitj]

love love the pajamas! and the feeding went well, nobody kicked hairs or went for a jog outside the enclosure :D the plant with the avic avic is a baby rubber tree, Peperomia obtusifolia

[@rosemiller417]

Loved it. Glad Bowser seems to heal up fine and feeling better.

[@sopheakydeaky.]

The plant at 8:27 is a Peperomia obtusifolia, common name baby rubber plant. :)

You and Mr. Richard from The Tarantula Collective helped me a lot with my arachnophobia! In a few days, it’ll have been a year since I decided, for my birthday, I’d get my first tarantula to exposure-therapy myself-I got the idea after watching you guys fawn over your tarantulas and talk about how pretty they were, and did massive amounts of research on tarantulas, their care, and body language. I got a G. Pulchripes sling 1/2 an inch long in a St. Paddy’s deal, named them Leprechaun, and observed them try to dig a hole to the center of the earth in their little enclosure. I rehoused them recently by poking them out of their burrow, and seeing them fully out for the first time since I’d gotten them, how they’d more than doubled in size over the course of the year, how they moved, and in general just how peaceful they were so long as I was gentle really made me realize I’d fallen in love with the little fella as if they were one of my non arachnid pets. They weren’t a therapy experiment anymore, but one of my babies. So much so, that this year, I got four more slings-a P. Irminia, who is a little gentleman with a touch of anxiety, but is super calm so long as I’m gentle and knock on the enclosure before opening it, a C. Portoricae who is just so incredibly smol, an A. Geniculata who is never not hungry, and a Davus sp. Panama who was pretty expensive but totally worth it for the colors and gentle disposition! And this is one of the only two forums I’m in where I can easily find appreciation for tarantulas, so here I am because my irl friends are a little less than enthusiastic about my children 😅

[@allygilmour6182]

Hi have you checked out Daves little beasties channel yet?

[@mikejames5546]

Check out Exotics Lair, and +1 For Dave's Little Beasties!

[@frogprincess412]

You have such beautiful Ts. They always look so healthy. I love horn work feedings. The contrast of the bright green against the substrate and Ts makes an awesome feeding video. Also love your jammies!!! I'm definitely getting some. I just got a new puppy (his name is Biscuit) so I think I need a set in the pink 💗 Lots of love from Oregon.

[@derp_dragons]

I actually have a screenshot of last time you tried to feed a gummy worm to your wolf spider. She looks genuinly terrified while clinging to her enclosure wall, I imagine her eyes screaming "get me outta here!". It's so cute and funny. She stayed true to herself in this vid.😂

[@edenkonishi2956]

So happy to see Bowser doing better!! Love watching your tarantula feeding videos!❤

[@Dustblye]

Tarantula Kat i just wanted to say thank you for helping me getting over my fear of spiders and i offically got my first tarantula. 🕷🖤

[@joegrossman5073]

Blue dwarf is one of my all time favorite small T's, I to also have a female but still not full grown yet. Love your videos keep up the hard work.

[@gfp221]

My Avic Avic will ONLY eat if I tong feed. She also has a very fast and violent feeding response. Which has led her to jumping out of her enclosure on to my wifes arm... which is now why I am the newly appointed Avic feeder guy🤣

[@Demolitiondude]

10:43 she has a still. Making sure nobody gets free shine.

[@areillea5883]

Maple: OMG Is that a bug? EWW GET IT OUT OF MY HOUSE! 😂

[@susanmartin3762]

🤣😂😅 that first feed liked like you dropped a blue log on your spider!

[@kabukiwolf95]

Your little plant is a pepperomia. A kinda semi succulent. They arent too fussy :)

[@michaelbuckley8986]

These are lovely tarantulas

[@nutmeggs]

I'm so glad to see Bowser is doing better and EATING!!! He's my favorite of your animals!! ❤

[@TheDethsight]

My male A. hentzi does something kinda similar. he has a half wood round that he has his little den in, along with a small decorative skull. he will dig out the sides of the wood half round and then push all the substrate a little past the front of the half wood round. so theres just a giant, slightly webbed up mound of substrate. it is incredibly rare to see him out of his den. he does eat, i just never see it lol.

[@Lisa-eu9fy]

I love gummy worm feedings! Thanx! 🕷♥️♥️♥️🕷

[@mikeyshauntings2897]

Awesome video as always! Just feed my T's gummy worms last night! Also got my first ghost mantis from bugs in cyberspace! Thanks Kat much love!

These videos are always fun lol. ♥️♥️♥️

Love your shirt! ❤️

[@nikkic0509]

Night time feedings are my favorite, but I love all your videos so much, They take my mind off my troubles.

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great feeding video

[@bbs1]

gotta love your geniculata. mine is such an entertainer and i cant wait till it grows up more. its still pretty small

[@19Gray]

My beloved wolf spider passed away today 😢, so I’m extra glad I got those P regius! You did great at that convention!

[@richardbriansmith8562]

Awesome Video Tarantula Kat also it's great to see bowser getting back to being himself i hope you are well tarantula kat

[@ez6147]

Been thinking of getting an Old World tarantula as of lately. They're beautiful and fascinating as well

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Luv your feeding videos Kat.. great job!!!! Awesome turtle 🐢 👏🏾 😍 😎

[@tameronnix9463]

I love your feeding videos. I would really like to see your GBB a bit more. I've been considering getting one.

[@peterbruns6124]

I thought they were candy too, and I was gonna scold you for feeding your spider a bunch of sugar and corn syrup. Until I saw them start to move...🤣

[@peymanmoayer607]

I love watching your show

[@stephanieshubert1247]

They ate those up this time. Love your videos!

[@jdssurf]

My A Avic is always good off the tongs. Love all your Cribs, I need to get a few.

[@teresarosebeary3052]

I love your videos! Day, night, it doesn't matter! But I must say the Gummy worn videos are my favorite! I can't wait to get my first 1!! Tarantula that is! Luv ya ❤️

[@mandyluna]

I have yet to feed my t's these little blue guys but you have made me so excited to see what ones will be brave or not😊

[@gazepskotzs4]

Feeding vids are always fun to watch and you did nothing wrong also those Pjs look really cute and comfortable . Greetings from Dutch Limburg!

[@ashleighgulliver2831]

I love all your videos. They are great

[@tarantulakat]

Thank you c:

[@andywheeler3652]

Awesome! I love those gummy worms! I haven't used them yet. I have gotten into silk worms. All of them who have the courage to try them love them.

[@bronthesaurus3648]

So fun watching your Ts eat!! Wish my emilia had an appetite like some of these guys, but the only thing he’s accomplished recently while ignoring his food is realizing he can use two legs to kick hairs at me, not just one. :P

[@design.of.reality]

i wish i could buy the pjs but im pretty sure they dont sell to where i life… but a gummy worm feeding video is the best thing ever

[@GlitzyWitch]

I'm so glad Bowser is on the mend, he certainly loved the gumming. I love your tarantulas, they're all so beautiful ❤ I'm looking forward to getting my plushy, hopefully winging its way to the UK ❤🎉

[@SherelleColourless-Blue]

My very first T was an A. geniculata. Her name is Geralt (thought it was a boy) and I love her so much. She is my favourite, so spicy 😍

[@tarantulakat]

They are v spicy d:

[@mirtehehemann1006]

I'm super scared of spiders actually still they are gorgeous really like the cobalt blue tarantula But I like watching you videos Not all but a couple😁😁

[@joninieves9813]

as someone who isn't as educated on animals I thought you where gonna feed them GUMMY worms like the candy I got so worried lol

[@mariofan275]

Love love LOVE the bowser break😍😍

[@themsdwallace]

My Aphonopelma chalcodes sealed off her burrow with dirt, and has been down there over a month. I dont smell anything rotten, but starting to worry about her.😂

[@amandabrower8406]

I like these videos

[@Jefuslives]

Some spoods probably avoid those worms because they feed on plants like tomato and tobacco, which contain compounds toxic to spiders.

[@alineheiler7804]

Loved it - everytime I‘m watching your videos, I immediately start thinking about new spiders 😍 And my wife’s always like: Nooo, don’t watch it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@GirlofCulture]

Hope you find another good food for Ms. Maple. It is actually pretty cute that are some of them are scared.. Bless you Baby Bowser. 😘

[@Bonebloke]

As much as I'd love to own a wolf spider, I feel like their speed would cause some anxiety

[@Emilierhoads]

You have an anax 😭❤️ I love it!!

[@nikidundas2477]

Always love night feed it's the only way I get to see all my tarantulas out ❤🕷️🕸️

[@kylamulvanity7706]

lol I’m glad I watched this video I just got my first tarantula a pink toe and she wouldn’t eat of the tongs so I put her in the cup put the cricket in there and she ate it . I still have a lot to learn

[@jgscatsandthings5208]

Cool feeding of the t's... The horn worms over in the UK are called death head hawk moth larvae.. Yep a mouthful lol. I'm going to blame you, for me buying something of the site you are affiliated with... 🤫.. I bought a cushion though, so it's all good.

[@aubrey8673]

Great feeding video! Hope the next feeding video we can see Zelda !

[@Doceli-dg3cn]

2:20 omg she crazy🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@imperialgirl4858]

My G. pulcripes sling LOVES gummy worms. Will just go after them voraciously.

[@gorgha3988]

I might be scared too if my food was bigger than me and flailing around lol

[@susanmartin3762]

I would NEVER have recognized you without your glasses! You look SO DIFFERENT! In a good way, really cute but yeah..I don't think I would recognize you if we walked by one another. 🤓😅

I want a Tarantula so bad, but i'm afraid of all spiders (except my jumping spiders) haha :D

[@ScubaX29]

A 200k special you should eat a gummy worm devil😈 lol Glad to see bowser is doing better

[@jacobharford9576]

Tarantula collective trigger :`D

[@amapinup]

My daughter turns 7 next week and asked for a trantula for her birthday so I've been binge watching your videos. I'm so in love with them and I'm excited for our new family member too

[@madhokte]

Awesome video! I haven't fed gummy worms in a while, this makes me want to go to the pet store right now! Also, I know you're located in st Louis. My bf's band Sabertooth is playing at the pink pit the next two days, you should check them out. The bassist can talk to you about tarantulas and you seem like you're probably into that kind of music. 🖤 Have an awesome weekend!

[@jonathanreid3574]

Yeaaaaa feeeeeeeding time awsome!!!!!!!!! 😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@LuckyStone888]

Just a comment to comment. Maybe someday Cuddle clones will make Polo shirts/Collar shirts with an image on the chest. I'd love something like that. Does it ever trigger anyone when Kat takes the sprayer off to pour the water? I keep a separate water bottle with my sprayer, her way is probably more efficient. It's better to keep the sprayer bottle empty between uses, so it doesn't get algae and build up. Everyone can do their own way and my trigger is just my psychological hang-ups and that's it. Comment done.

[@kaciek6893]

My GBB gave me my first threat posture the other day

[@Pitpoots]

I think that is a green peperomia, kinda stiff leaves

[@santoroaquatics5038]

5 comment awesome video today kat you are the best and the greatest ever thank you for being so inspirational and I love when you feed your amazing spider and happy Saturday 👍💪💯💪

[@julievasey-cooper3852]

I'm watching from England. I love your channel,I'm just a novice Tarantula keeper at 52 years old. I don't know the full on proper names for my T's but I have 13 altogether. I had fancied a tarantula for a long time and was watching your channel and so i bit the bullet and got 1 then 3 more then 6 then my last 3 making it 13,I have Blu,Hodder,Mother Malkin,Venom,Chilli,Ruby,First Born,Wednesday,Pumpkin,Hornswoggle,Ghost,Mochi and Garfield. I've sadly just lost my jumping spider who was called Luca. but I am going to get another as they are such fun as are all my T's. I so wish I could buy the gummy worms over here in England but I've found no sellers at all.

[@gazepskotzs4]

If you put a steak in my face like you did with the Aphonopelma and her gummiworm i am giving you a threat pose too 😂😅😂😊 I still would eat it though lol!

[@Lili_Th_Kiki]

A great video Kat ! 🤗🖤 Feeding Tarantulas at night with gummy werms. 😍 Your D. Diamantinensis is gorgeous ! Impressive those colors ! I love it ❤️ Thank you 🖤

[@jessicayoung5169]

Really going to start collecting tarantulas and just wanted to know from you. If bitten will I be ok from all tarantulas?

[@lindsay6518]

Lol I have a fully grown T albo and she WILL not have gummy worms. She is terrified of them and I've tried feeding them so many times before and after molts and she eat them when she was a lot smaller but now its NO WAY. My adult female Avicularia is the same, she swats them away and runs and hides from them. She also ate them when she was smaller. My sub adult Avicularia (peru purps) will eat ANY size gummy worm and is an absolute worm destroyer. Cats man. They are cats.

[@rockowyimpresjonista]

Very delicious vid...

[@YumixNightmare]

Kat I messaged you on Patreon - it's about my GBB. It's a question I have about breeding. Always great content - Thank you so much!

[@uniquewhippets0]

How do you keep track of who you’ve fed & when etc, & do you keep notes for like when they don’t eat or starting to malt etc. so really just asking how do you keep everything straight ? :)

[@chriszurawski2728]

I am afraid of spiders you said you were. I like your videos I would like to get one. What advice would you give?

[@tarantulakat]

Just remember they are more afraid of you then you are of them!

[@richardpowelljr.3069]

Mine are all super picky. They won't eat anything but crickets.

[@DesignatedDrinker12]

Dangit. Now I need those jammies. They’re so fking cute! ❤

[@sandee4284]

I absolutely love your videos Kat! Sending love from the UK 🇬🇧 Your videos and social media have finally given me the 'push' to get my first tarantula. I have a T albopilosum juvenile and a G Pulchra sling and I adore them! ❤

[@haunteddreams7856]

In an old video you said not to have scented candles when owning a tarantula this might sound stupid but I'd rather be safe then sorry but can you have a scented candle if the spider is kept upstairs in a room and the candle is down the stairs?

[@doobeedobah6]

I NEED HELP! my baby jumper is wild caught and it isn’t eating the fruit flies I am giving it. I thought it might be because it just wasn’t hungry cause it was killing the fruit flies but not eating them, but it’s abdomen looks quite small and I am misting it’s cage every 1-2 days. Is it because it is just not a good spood for captivity? What should I do??? Edit: About five minutes after commenting this, lil dude ate a fly :D I may have been dramatic, but he didn’t eat in two days so I was a bit worried 😅

[@amysweb4815]

I wish we were allowed to feed these in the uk

[@PapasFritas-gj3gv]

Seeing this videos is weird... I kinda feared about spiders but at the same time I want to have some in my house. Maybe later when I leave

[@Cool_Story_Bruh]

So my local pet store has Grammostola labeled as "Pulchra/Quirogai". Where can I get a confirmed Pulchra and are the two essentially the same as far as care and temperament/behavior?

[@pythonparis]

What Euathuls species was that first sling? Love that genus, and those formerly in that genus (now Homoeomma).

[@tarantulakat]

Euathlaus hermosa!

[@pythonparis]
