Can I give my Chilean rosey red-haired tarantula green Hornworms as an alternative food source, then the Dubia hissing cockroach it lrg crickets. Pet's info: Spiders & Insects | Tarantula | Female | unspayed

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

Rose hair tarantulas will eat a wide variety of invertebrate prey, as well as the occasional pinky mouse. Crickets, mealworms, waxworms, and roaches should all be included in a balanced diet for this species. These tarantulas will eat 3 to 5 large crickets a week, or a similar amount of other prey items. Food should be offered at least twice a week, and uneaten prey should be removed after 24 hours. Some rose hairs will eat more, and some will eat less. It is not uncommon for them to gorge themselves for several feedings and then to fast for up to a month.
