Meet Oscar my new pet

[Catherine]

Oscar is too young to be sexed. It could go either way. I think all tarantulas can throw hairs, but I think if they feel secure they don't do it. I have him in a small set up. It is just big enough to meet his needs without intimidating him. I feed him a crickets when he needs it. Really I am just going to watch him grow/shed. Gradually we will become used to each other and I will handle him carefully. I am scared of breaking his legs or upsetting him so I will be very gentle.
Tarantulas are more fragile than people realise.

I love the little guy.
