Honestly, I live right next to two petstores (Smart & Co), and I'm technically within walking distance of both, so I was only going to get them one at a time. Do they still need to be fed special, than? Or are they good as-is from the store? (If they still need to be fed, I'll grab one of those little Kritter Keepers).

Insects from pet stores tend to be in pretty rough shape when you get them. They aren't going to last until your next feeding day if you don't take care of them. You need to give them food and make sure they're not dehydrated so they stay alive longer, otherwise you're going to be wasting a lot of money. Plus, your tarantula will probably be way more interested in a lively and healthy insect than in a nearly dead one.

Everyone has a different food mixture that they give their insects, but you have to be aware of what nutrients you're putting into them. Commercial cricket feeds especially often have a lot of calcium added, which is bad for your tarantula because too much calcium can interfere with molting. There are a ton of guides online about how to setup an enclosure for feeder insects (Youtube, /r/tarantulas, arachnoboards) and what to feed them, so you just have to look around and figure out what's going to work for you.

Oh, I was just going to buy them one at a time on feeding day. |D Probably not the best idea, lol...

Thanks, I'll look into that!

We only bought crickets when we fed - no fucking way was i going to 'raise' crickets, and the ones at the store were plenty healthy. You don't need to have a tank full of crickets - just get one or two and drop 'em in the tank, and your tarantula will eat them over a day or two. It's all good.
