THERAPHOSA BLONDI - TARANTULA GOLIATH CAZANDO RATON

[diegopazosprados]

Que crueldad pobre ratoncito. Ojala un dia te metan en una jaula con un psicopata con un hacha. Una cosa es que en la naturaleza se coman en igualdad de condiciones para los 2 donde el raton se puede escapar y otra es que mandes al raton a una muerte segura. Repito, ojala te encuentres acorralado un dia por algun demente que te liquide

[nahuel410]

son la especie mas grande pero la mas domesticable ya q si la adquieres de pequeñas se acostumbran a su dueño, en algunos lugares las crian y als usan para cazar ratas :)

[dashterr]

cuanto tarda en crecer lo maximo y cuanto te costo?

[NANOFORGE]

Tarantuals was GOTTYAA....GOD DAMN IT!!!

[AIUR1984]

como pa que se te fuge por la habitacion, ¡¡¡yo desalojo la casa!!!! ja ja ja ja

[Midyin]

I can't help but to wonder if Mines even the right kind. The pet shop said Goliath Bird eater, but mines black, has a tiny Abdomen, and isn't as.... Girthy?(is that a word? fuck it . it is now)

[Midyin]

It seems like the mouse annoys the spider at first, then it just eats him out of anger... lol

[dbor1101]

i fuckin hate spiders

[Charalex83]

Pobre raton

[pufycino]

Poor mouse! Mammals are highly evolved creatures, don't feed them to no stinky spiders! Humans do this for fun but the calcium in the mouse can KILL your tarantula during next molt. I got tarantulas, BUT I NEVER FEED THEM MICE! Shame on you!

[Midyin]

@pufycino Really? I just got A Goliath from the Pet store yesterday(May 7th 2010) and the guy there told me that when it gets bigger I'll have to start feeding it one Mouse a month...

I'm not looking to fight. I honestly want to know if He was right, or fool of shit?... because I don't want to feed it mice if I don't have too..

[pufycino]

@Midyin Yes. I am a tarantula breeder with over 4000 tarantulas in my "farm". I HAVE NEVER FED a mouse to a tarantula. Some breeders feed mice to their tarantulas but ONLY ONCE IN A WHILE. Calcium build up is a real threat to a tarantula's exoscheleton but also a mouse can bite like hell and injure or kill your tarantula. ONE BITE to the spider's abdomen is enough-the game is over. My tarantulas are fed a healthy diet of blaptica dubia and mealworms-AND THEY LOVE IT.

[Midyin]

@pufycino Thank you for the Advise sir. that's why i never tossed anything but bugs to my Rose-hair because there's a difference between being a sadist, and a good pet owner, and I really want to Be a good pet owner, and keep them Happy, and healthy...

[pufycino]

@Midyin I can bring a a sling (a. geniculata) from half an inch to 3 inches in 3 months by feeding them meat worms. I clip the meat worm on the side with a scissors so that its guts spill out a bit and throw it in. Next day or 2 days after make sure you CLEAN OUT the remains of the worm, or bacteria will develop. MY WORM FED SPIDERS GROW MUCH FASTER THAN TINY ROACH FED SPIDERS. Then, once they are a few inches I give them dubias, mealworms and meat worms. Good luck with your T!

[Midyin]

@pufycino I just got a bunch of Meal worms from PetCo today. Ummm Do I have to slice them open like you do the Meatworms, or anything, or can I just drop them in like I do the Crickets?..

[pufycino]

@Midyin It depends on how big or small your spiders are. Imagine you are a spider; you should be able to grab a mealworm with your hands and bringing it to your mouth to chew on it. But the mealworm has to be less powerful than you so that you could hold on to it, right? My answer: Ig you got small slings up to 1/2 inch feed them meat worms or chopp the mealworm into a piece small enough for the spider to handle, usually about as long as the spider or less. Make sure u clean it tommorrow!

[pufycino]

@Midyin When yout T is over an inch or so, it should have enough force to overpower the mealworm. JUST TRY BY ERROR AND TRIAL. If you observe that the spider has a hard time with a ( bigger) mealworm, just give him a smaller one. It is as easy as that! A spider should be able to easily grab his food and hold on to it without wrestling like Hulk Hogan!

[Midyin]

@pufycino When I got The T Blondi it was already about 7 inches, but it hasn't been eating much, and its been hiding ever sense I got it.

At the pet shop it had a crippled back leg, and it dusted the store clerk with the hairs on it's abdomen when he was being moved into my carry home container.

I've owned a Rose-hair(Fluffy) for about 6 or 7 years, but She acts a lot more laid back, and doesn't hide as much. I seen Fluffy molt once, and I'm wonder if The T Blondi might be about to do so too.

[pufycino]

@Midyin She might be about to mold or she's just plain scared. Watch her humidity level, let her relax and find her place. At 7 inches she will eat mealworms like french fries. My big spiders like to shove 6-7 mealworms in their mouths and they hang down in a mass of contorsioned worms like an elephant with 7 trunks! Its so funny too see how greedy they are. Yeah, just give her some time; dont forget the water dish. How bad is the leg and how long ago was she injured? Recently????

[Midyin]

@pufycino Ummm two problems. first: I don't have a humidity gage. Dose this mean I need a Heat lamp too?

second: The Meal-worms I tossed him/her burrowed as soon as they hit the mulch. Do I have to dig them back up, or will it be ok for them to just chill till I clean her pen in 6 months?

[pufycino]

@Midyin I never use a heat lamp; I keep my spiders at room temperature. I never heat up the room "as written" in the books. Same with my bugs. Ok, listen to me. If the spider doesn't grab the mealworm like a maniac as soon as you toss it in front of him, you have to choices; Take the mealworm out or live it in; som spiders love to "hunt" for their prey. They are VERY SENSITIVE to movements in the substrate and it will catch it later. But I would take it out for now.Whhen did u buy the spider?

[Midyin]

@pufycino I got it on the 7th.

[pufycino]

@Midyin How bad is his leg? Is it a recent injury or an old one? Has he eaten anything since you bought him?

[Midyin]

@pufycino Hes eaten 2 crickets, and a moth my cousin tossed in for him. As for the leg. Its not good. He still favors it when hes walking, and such.

I wish I could just show it to you. You don't happen to live in PA do you?.. lol

[pufycino]

@Midyin No, I live in Europe, Romania. But I have been to the states many times. What do you mean his leg is not good? Is he leaking fluid from the broken leg? Also, if he ate 2 crickets he should be ok. Just keep his humidity in check. DO NOT LET HIM LIVE IN TOTALLY DRY CONDITIONS. He should be fine ; dont bug him too much, let him get used to his cage/ acquarium. What other animals do you have?

[Midyin]

@pufycino It was leaking on the day I got him, but it's stopped now. Its hurt at the 2nd knuckle, and is smaller then the rest of his legs. he keeps it up, and doesn't move it much.

He lives in a 20 gallon Aquarium With mulch bedding, a big half buried rock in one corner, and a large water dish with a big chunk of sea-sponge in it in the opposite corner, and I have one of those half a tree looking things for him to live under to hide.

My other pet is Fluffy My Rose-Hair...

[tadeotito]

[emirep]

Hola, no, es un raton comun (mus musculus).

saludos

[Acidpapst]

strange that all ppl which wanna show what they got for great blondies feed them with a mouse. in the nature they eat insects. and no "wild" mouse go in the near of a blondie. i got a few spiders and i dont feed mouses. whoever do this is a nerd

[ThisbeJimmy]

It's a goliath tarantula. They are literaly named goliath bird eating tarantulas. They eat birds in the wild and it's been recorded, I bet theres a few videos on the web showing it.

[Acidpapst]

Despite its common name, the bird-eating spider rarely eats birds. Occasionally, hatchling birds will be taken from nests on the ground, however, the bulk of the diet comprises insects, lizards, frogs, and other spiders. In nature most blondis dont eat a mouse. Theire food is 99% insects. So why ppl feed them with mouses and send this videos? they think they are now real man or what?

[beekill82]

I agree! Both animals didn't even know what to do! The spider wasn't even sure the mouse was its PREY until it bolted out of its burrow. That's when its instincts finally kicked in. Spidey just tapped it with its frontleg to confirm what the hell it was? It followed the mouse to the burrow because it was confused. She was like 'You iz nom nom? Go to my house?', lol... The mouse was just curious and didn't see her as a threat AT ALL. He definitely thought the spider was just an ornament. XD

[thenoobpwner]

thats a huge bitch!

[komepollass]

message for all those spiderowners who defend live mouse feeding and argue "it is nature" to defend what they do: In the natural world...there are no glass walls, so the mouse would have the alternative to run for its life. Not to mention pushing the mouse towards the spider. You deny them that alternative just for your own sadistic recreation. YOU ARE T.I.T.H.E.A.D.S.

[sadeyedknight]

If that was the case then the crickets would be also a sadistic recreation, and the tarantulas would die without food so I say it´s the nature the one that is cruel not us, blame it, you also eat animals and they,ve not the choice of fighting for their lives, at least in this case the mouse can fight for his life, it bites and there´s been cases where they kill the tarantulas so stop sying shit ok?

[Shikyouauthoress]

Even though this comment is over a year old, i figured I'd throw this out here. I'm fascinated and terrified by spiders, but a fact remains. Mice infest homes. Feeding a mouse to a tarantula is no worse than setting a trap.

[Jon3800]

its also fatal for the tarantula, all it takes is one bite, and even if it eats it, they'll cause it molt badly and can die for it. Either way its a lose-lose situation for spider. Either die now or die later

[biggoofybastard]

Trap is quicker, and there is no need to feed it a mouse. Why does everyone with some type of exotic pet on youtube feel the need to feed live mice?

[JensTwn]

Yeah if you search for Acanthoscurria you will se a ton of mouse feeding videos.

But i totaly agree with you.

[smurk143]

i wonder what the vieuw if you could see through the mouse its eyez, at the point that the spide rwaits in front of it

[smurk143]

ow shit..thats fucked up for lil moussie mouse

whuahahahah NATURE!

[soulierinvestments]

stupid mouse should not have gone in the pot. In the constant struggle between arachnid vs mammal, its arachnid 1 mammal zip.

[Heatseeker872591]
