Hook
My wife is currently bottle feeding a tarantula. Well, she's not exactly bottle feeding it, but she is feeding it and giving it water with a syringe. This tarantula was stung by a tarantula hawk. If you are not sure what a tarantula hawk is, look it up. It's terrifying. They are wasps the size of my hand. They're blue with orange wings. They're crazy, but they feed on tarantulas. And when we were with some friends at a campsite, Hannah will tell the story, but she's basically Snow White and Steve Irwin like mixed together. She wants to save anything and everything, which is really sweet. But we want to show you this tarantula because we're going on six weeks now, and not only is he improving, but he's still alive. So this is Mohawk. Nathan named him. He got stung by a tarantula hawk. And if you don't know what that is, they it's like a wasp, they sting the tarantula, they lay an egg on it. The egg turns into a larva, the larva slowly consumes the tarantula while it's paralyzed, and then when it's fully mature, it kills the tarantula. Uh they can stay stunned or paralyzed for up to six months. So this guy's slowly starting to move his legs and wake up from that. So what I have to do is I have to crush crickets up and put him in a syringe twice a week and feed him that way, and then give him water in a syringe every night, because he still can't eat on his own. So I'm just going to show you guys that process. So flip him over onto his back and just squeeze a tiny bit of cricket juices into his mouth and just wait for him to swallow it. And then once he swallows it, give him another drop. So now I'm just giving him his little drop of water. He gets one drop at a time. Then I kind of like pet him to get him to kind of move it, and he'll swallow it. And then so if you'll look at his legs, they actually He's actually sort of moving his legs a little bit. So I'll just kind of There he goes. He wasn't moving at all when we brought him home. There were a couple times I thought that he was dead, but All of his legs were drawn up. He wouldn't even straighten them out. And then he went through like a phase where he was his legs would like shake. Look. There he is in all his glory.
