Tarantulas are carnivorous and thrive on a diet of live
prey. Here are the best food options for tarantulas:
Staple Foods
1. Crickets – Easily available
and nutritionally balanced.
2. Dubia Roaches – Excellent
nutrition and don’t jump or climb.
3. Mealworms – High in fat; best
fed occasionally.
4. Superworms – Like mealworms
but larger; feed in moderation.
5. Locusts/Grasshoppers – Good protein
source, ideal for larger tarantulas.
Occasional Treats
· Waxworms – Very fatty; good
for underweight or freshly molted tarantulas.
· Pinkie Mice (frozen/thawed) – Only for large species and rarely (can cause obesity and
mold if uneaten).
Feeding Tips
· Always feed live prey unless your tarantula accepts pre-killed
food.
· Remove uneaten food after 24 hours to prevent stress or injury.
· Don’t feed during or right after a molt; wait until the fangs
harden (usually 5–10 days).
