Theraphosa blondi catches a mouse. Posted by: nearlyagoodlaugh
Video duration: 21 seconds Global video hits: 19974 My relatively new, and still thin T. blondi eats the second mouse, which the Pyxie didn't want. Not the typical feeding, I usually use roaches, but this spider could use the extra bulk right now. There's also a roach ootheca lying in there from a previous feeding, would have been ejected prematurely when the roach was caught, it didn't hatch.
