Feeding Time!!!!!!

I fed most of my Tarantulas today.

Here is a chart depicting the name,food and feeding response(Out of 10).

NAME/FOOD/FEEDING RESPONSE/REMARKS

1.Lampropelma violaceopes(1)/Live Mealworm/8/I dropped it into the webbing,It struck it hard a few minutes later and started wrestling with it(Guess who is the winner).

2.Lampropelma violaceopes(2)/Live fly/10/Why ten?Because when i dropped the fly into the enclosure,It immediatly turned around and bit it with its fangs while the fly helplessly tried to escape.This is different than most feeding behaviour because instead of leaving the food in the enclosure and waiting for it to eat it,It just attacked the fly directly...Awesome!!

3.Aphonopelma Seemanni/Crushed Mini Mealworm/6/Why should i crush the mealworm when it is already mini?Because my A.Seemanni moulted 4 days ago and im scared the fangs not yet harden so i gave it a small crushed mealworm just in case. Same feedig response,bite it and overpower it. Hasnt refused a meal yet.Looking forward to seeing it grow.

I also fed the 3 scorpions but i am lazy to right everything. Only comment:They ate it.
