a straw in the cricket container the crickets will climb up the straw,then you just shake out as much as you need
i only breed curly hairs and usumbara reds but used to breed red knees,goliath birdeaters and many more but cut down as got into herps big style and no one wanted the spiderling(couldn't even give them away)luckly had mates who were into spiders to so they took the bulk of them

k she is here! and omg she is sooooo titchy! she is in her film tube at the moment there is some sprayed vermaculat in there and a damp peice of cotton wool for her water! she already tried to escape by legging it up my hand when i was sorting out her her tub but she hid happily in her scrunched up loo role until i had finished (the loo roll was also inside a ventilated tub) i put her back and she is having a good explore! so she is alive and sooooo cool so i am thinking it is a good start! ;D ;D ;D ;D yay!!!!

nah no worries ask all the questions you want i kept the spiderlings until their first 2 sheds then offer them for sale  or 3 with the more slow growing speices but thats my personal preference i prefer to get them feeding well before i let them go ;D lee |

Post by John Pilling on Apr 5, 2005 16:23:04 GMT
I agree, same thing with snakes at least 5 feeds and 2, preferabley 3 shed before letting them go, so i know their in good health.
