FOOD = Tarantulas should be fed 2 times a week on LIVE crickets (not dead as the tarantula will not eat it.
WATER = Tarantulas shouldn''t just have a bowl of water. They should either have a bowl of water with stones in it, silica gel or cotton wool soaked in water. This prevents crickets drowning when being fed to your tarantula. Bottled water must be used, not water out of the tap.
BLOOD = Tarantulas blood does not have platlets in it which means that they cannot form scabs so eaven the smalles cut can cause a big problem. Because of this and the fact that tarantulas can bite and shoot iretating hairs from their abdomen it is advised that you do not handle your tarantula. When cleaning the vivariium tease it into a plastic, ventilated box.
