Diet & Nutrition

The Goliath Bird Eater Spider is carnivorous and needs a diverse diet consisting of adult crickets, grasshoppers, larvae, and only occasional feedings (once or twice a month) of mice. This variety more closely mirrors the diet of this tarantula in nature and will keep them healthy.

Regular dusting of food with a Calcium and Vitamin D supplement will help to ensure your Tarantula's ongoing health.

Clean, fresh water should be available at all times.
