Done!

You just feed the female until she stops feeding. You can try them again the following day, thats quite common actually. Sometimes the male doesn't get a good insertion the 1st time around.

Most will survive, you'll always get a few casualties though.

how often do you feed them?
are they really as easy to look after as you said previously?

It's hard to not get attached to the crickets! I see it as they're just doing their job in the circle of life!! Pinkies are more of a treat for the bigger tarantulas.

You can feed them as offen as you like! That will determine the life span and growth rate. Tarantulas can go for months without feeding. So you could feed them once a month and they will live for ages and grow slowly. Or feed them a few times a week and they will have a shorter life span and grow quickly.
