Who this list is for

How to use this list
Keep feeder insects in the feeder insect container or ventilated feeder insect tub with feeder insect food and hydration gel. Use long feeding tongs for feeding.

Common mistakes
Do not handle the tarantula as part of feeding or cleaning. Keep the catch cup with lid and cardstock divider available for careful enclosure management, and use the soft paintbrush only as a gentle assistance tool.
