jon, every time i put a mouse in my goliaths cage and she eats it, there is always like a big hairball with tiny sphericle things on the ball thing...they also move...is this bad?should i change the substrate?

@ColoradoLizardDude

Well you have to understand that mice are vertebrates and a tarantula is incapable of eating the whole thing.. Yes it's bad, and you should remove them.

Ultimately, I would highly consider changing your her diet completely and switch to B.dubia roaches. If you keep offering mice every feeding, you'll eventually kill her from a molt complication. Once or twice a year is fine..not more than that

@ColoradoLizardDude

Also I probably told you this but mice are rich in calcium, and Ts cannot intake this well and gets stored in the exoskeleton and hardens it up. If you're feeding them more than what's recommended, the exo becomes rock hard..so they won't molt right and they can die from it (see Tguy1976's P.regalis), and it's especially crucial since these goliaths are known for their molting problems

B.dubias, super or goliath worms are a lot better..more nutrious and never leftovers

Is it possible to type something coherent.

@Jon3800 Reinforcing statements don't help with phobias tough. That needs brutal behaviourist therapy.

Personally I'd have no problem because I don't mind big bulky spiders, but if it was a domestic house spider in my room I'd piss myself.
