Spiders are pretty renowned for being fabulous feeders - but to be honest I don't really see a morph specific distinction - like all animals some will just feed better than others I don't really think it has anything to do with what morph they are.

I have the most picky spider in the world. I think it varries on the ball itself and not the morph. My best feeders are a 1900g normal female and an 800g Hypo boy. Both will literally come out of the enclosure after you trying to get their rat. Amazingly aggressive feeders, never turn down a meal.

My spider and my bee both eat like champs.
I don't have any picky eaters. A few of my males are off feed for the breeding season, Not my spider he breeds then he eats then he's at it again.

I have a cinny that right now is feeding like a pig, but for most of the year he eats when he feels like it. I think it has more to do with the time of the year, how old, and what sex it is. I have noticed that males feed less than females and all of them seem to go on a feeding binge right before breeding season. This year my big females are still binging and putting on a lot of weight, probably because we have not had many cold fronts come through yet. This week it is kind of cool (if you can call 70 degrees cool) and rainy so I will see if I get more lock ups.
