Right now I'm feeding my Red Knee and Brazilian White Knee, lobster roaches. The T's can catch subadult and adult prey when it's on the ground (I cut off three legs on one side), but can they locate and catch the nymphs, which seem to have a more protective shell and move very fast, and worse, they instantly burrow.

About putting t's in the roach habitat. With Lobster Roaches, does anyone have success with this method of feeding? Can the T calm down enough in the foreign tank to feed them this way?

i don't feed roaches to my Ts too often, but when i do feed nymphs to them. i remove the back 4 legs so they cant burrow and the T chomps them up. Nymphs have tougher bodies, yes, but they no match for a tarantulas jaws.
