8)I have come to the conclusion over the many many yrs i have been working with and caring for tarantulas that prey coated in a vitamin/calcium powder is very benifcial to your Ts life and well being.. When not give prey that has been coated, they grow slower, less active, dont eat as well, and have some probs molting.. When given the prey with vitamins/calcium they do alot better, more active at times, molt alot easier, eat better and are just all around healthy, which in turn can help them to live alot longer.. So go ahead grab a bag and toss in the prey and pour on the powder vitamins/calcium and shake um up and toss in to feed.. Do this atleast once or twice a week.. for the better well being of your beloved T... ;D

Re:Long Study

8)Hey Red, you want to use not only a calcium powder but one with the cal. in the vitamins if possible, but you can use miner-all or repcal or any of the other products, just pop few crix in bag add alittle powder shake till coated and pop in with the T.. Some how or another they do manage to get the vit/cal mix into there system and it really does help alot.. Theres alot of things i have noticed with the T's when they dont recive the coated prey and only get prey thats not coated... Trust me over time you will see a diffrence in the Ts health all together... 8)

Re:Long Study

That's a good Idea Cuda. I never really thought of coating my T's food with reptivite too. Maybe I'll start doing that!!

Re:Long Study

8) Red zoomed is a very good vitamin/calcium, but like i siad just check and make sure it has everything in it, it dont matter what brand you use as long as it has everything in it... And nope theres no one good vitamin made for Ts only.. Maybe someday someone will come up with one and people will realize that it really does do them some good to coat there prey... 8)
