Hi All,
Can some of the folks who have kept Avicularia avicularia in groups please describe how you did this, and what success you did or did not have.

Enclosure size and style?
How many animals?
Sex? and Age/Size?
Method of introduction?
Feeding tricks?
Any other details you feel might be helpful.

I have accumilated 4 Pink Toes, kept seperate right now, but I'd be interested in housing them in a group setting as long as there is no substantial risk to the animals.

Thanks in advance.

I have never kept avics in groups, let alone kept them in seperate enclosures but I would say that a 20 gal. arboreal enclosure would be good. When housing pink toes together, I would give them 5 gal. of space each. So if you had 6 of them, I would use a 30 gal. arboreal enclosure.
