Having fed the little sling again on a bean weevil last night and she took it with the same gusto that she did the last one, I have no hesitancy in recommending these to anyone with a spiderling.
Firstly, after the initial attempt, she seems to love them. They are easy to keep and catch and best of all once you have spent only a couple of pounds on your first culture you will have free spiderling food forever! Here's how it works:
Once you've bought your bean weevil culture (this is a tub of black eyed beans with bean weevil eggs on them) and some have hatched off, you can transfer some of the culture to a new tub with some more dried black eyed beans. You can repeat this process and always keep a culture developing with no need to buy any more.
As a varied diet is vital to health, and to ensure that the baby tarantula does not miss out on any nutrients, I shall continue to feed her crickets as well.
