    Well, the calcium isn't really the issue. It seems we are all on the same page when it comes to feeding gutloaded insects over mice anyday.
    However, I do spoil my cranwelli girl once a month with a mouse. Whenever she sees the mouse, her feeding response is through the roof. Once she even leaped up to snag it from my hands.
    They are high in fat, but aslong as my girl looks nice and round, I don't see the harm in it.

    Edit: Truffs1178, I actually know people who also feed tarantulas nothing else but mice, and had no molting problems ever. I think one of the big problems with this issue is that alot of tarantulas die from molts gone wrong, even ones that aren't fed mice. So I think it's easy to associate the two, but remember, there is no evidence supporting it.
    Eitherway, I would love to see a study be released with actual numbers from tarantulas fed only mice during a lifespan, with insect fed tarantulas on the other end.

    I guess there is no deffinative proof of either sides of the story. My male bullfrog loves them too.

    We're not having an argument! We are agreeing on the same thing, but disagreeing on the reason.
    Anyway, it's not important, I think all of us made enough valid arguments so people can decide for themselves.
