I have a new Chilean Rose tarantula spiderling, apx 1'' in leg span. It came with some good info from the breeder, but nothing about a feeding schedule. It seems as though it would accept prey every day if I would let it. I've been feeding it a small cricket every 3rd day. i.e. 2 days without eating, then a cricket on the third day. But it still seems hungry. I've noticed that the abdomen has become larger and rounder than when I got received it from the breeder, but it looked malnourished at that time. So, what is a good feeding schedule? Any breeders out there? Am I feeding too much? Too little? I've heard that you "cannot overfeed a spider" but I'm pretty sure thats not true, especially because it can be bad for their health to feed too much, and can make falls more dangerous. Anyway, I'm looking for responses from someone whom actually has raised spiderlings, not just people doing a google search, I already did that. I would like some first-hand information here. Thanks in advance
